There was time for the laughter and time for the rain, time for
The people who don't know my name.
Time for everything, i know it's true and i know that i should
Have had more time for you.

Chorus:
So, lock all the windows. close all the doors and don't let me
Go out runnin' no more.
Lock all the windows. close all the doors and don't let me go
Out runnin' no more.

But there so many places that i've never been. so many faces
A-callin' me friend.
L. a. is pretty and new york is cold and chicago is just an old
Story i've told.

(chorus)

But the hands of the clock keep on goin' around and the calendar
Pages keep fallin' on down.
Come follow me, then, wherever i go and when we'll get home
Here, i really don't know.
We'll lock all the windows. close all the doors and we'll go out
Runnin' just like before. (repeat)
