Harder To Walk These Days Than Run

I used to think I could live by the law

And believe everything that my own two eyes saw

But now all the certainties have come undone

And it’s harder to walk these days than run 



I was always impressed with how lassie could tell 

The good guys from bad guys just by their smell

But now they’re all odourless everyone

And it’s harder to walk these days than run



I read all the books, I thought words could repair

And I dreamed of a language that everyone shared

But all reason retreats in the face of a gun

And it’s harder to walk these days than run



And how can I consider what’s wrong and what’s right?

When everything moves even faster than light?

I’m not even sure I can trust in the sun

It’s so much harder to walk these days than run



You told me everything in its own time 

And you waited for yours and I waited for mine

And right from the start I knew you were the one 

Who’d make it easier to walk these days 

Easier to walk these days

Easier to walk these days

Than run



Easier to walk these days than run

Easier to walk these days than run

Than run

Than run

Oh it’s easier to walk these days than run
