Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I couldn't sleep a wink last night
I, I'd love to hold on
Love to see the fires in motion
Love to feel a free world turn tonight
[Verse 2]
Run till we come, until we be
Speed your love to me
Run till we come, until we be
Speed your love
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run till we come, until we be
Speed your love to me
[Verse 3]
She would like to make a wish
Twenty fourth cannot be this
He moved at the speed of light
Through the day and through the night
Fire from the flame of youth
Fire
[Verse 4]
Run till we come, until we be
Speed your love to me
[Verse 5]
Just my imagination
Just my imagination
You go to my head
You go to my head
With the flames that go higher and higher
And higher and higher
And higher and higher
Over and over to me
Speed your love
[Verse 6]
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
[Verse 7]
No
I couldn't sleep a wink last night
I'd love to hold on
Love to see the fires in motion
I'd love to feel a free world turn tonight
[Verse 8]
Run till we come, until we be
Speed your love to me
[Verse 9]
Just my imagination
Just my imagination
You go to my head
You go to my head
With the flames that go higher and higher
And higher and higher
And higher and higher
Over to me
Speed your love to me
[Verse 10]
Run till we come, until we be
Speed your love
You go to my head
You go to my head
You go to my head
Oh
[Verse 11]
Higher and higher
Higher
You go to my head
You go to my head
You go to my head
Over me
[Verse 12]
Higher and higher
Higher and higher
Come across to me
You go to my head
You go to my head
You go to my head
Oh, don't wanna be
[Verse 13]
I'm goin' up, up, up
Higher and higher
All across to me
You go to my head
You go to my head
You go to my head
Over to me
