About This Track

'Come Running' by Van Morrison is a Rock song from the album 'Moondance' (released in 1970). The lyrics set a scene beside the tracks, with wind and rain, as a train pulls away and someone is left watching the bend. The mood turns yearning and intimate, hinging on the thought that the listener will “come a-running to me”. It blends passing motion and weather with an inward plea, so the outward bustle of the journey becomes a prompt to return.

"Come Running" is a track by Van Morrison, from the album Moondance, released 28th February 1970. The track is 2:31 long. It's filed under Rock. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Come Running

By the side of the tracks where the train goes by
The wind and the rain will catch you, you will sigh
Deep in your heart
Then you'll come a-running to me
You'll come a-running to me

Well you watch the train go 'round the bend
Play in dust and dream that it will never end
Deep in your heart
You'll come a-running to me
You'll come a-running to me

Said, hey, come a-running to me
Oh, come a-running to me
Hey, yeah, come a-running to me
Said, hey, come a-running to me
Oh, come a-running to me
Hey, yeah, come a-running to me

With your hound dog by your side
And your arms stretched out open wide
I wanna keep you satisfied in the morning sun
By my side, come on, come on run
And you kick the sand up with your heels
You think to yourself how good it feels
Put away all your walking shoes
Then you come running to me
Now you come running to me

I said, hey, come a-running to me
Oh, come a-running to me
Hey, yeah, come a-running to me

Hey, come a-running to me
Oh, come a-running to me
Hey, yeah, come a-running to me

Hey, come a-running to me
Oh, come a-running to me
Hey, yeah, come a-running to me
