Harder to Walk These Days Than Run - Karine Polwart

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 odorless, every one
And it's harder to walk these days than run

Well, 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 the 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

But 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...
