Para Wanessa que me fez lembrar desta pérola no meu blog e que tem tudo a ver com esta sexta-feira…Vamos pra frente…

For Wanessa who reminded me about this nice song in my blog and it has everything to do with this Friday….let’s keep it on…

It seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janey was lovely she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio playing low
And the secrets that we shared
The mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
‘Til there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove
And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
I remember how she held me oh so tight
Wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then

Against the wind
We were runnin’ against the wind
We were young and strong, we were runnin’
Against the wind

The years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home
And I guess I lost my way
There were oh so many roads
I was living to run and running to live
Never worryied about paying or even how much I owed
Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breaking all of the rules that would bend
I began to find myself searching
Searching for shelter again and again

Against the wind
A little something against the wind
I found myself seeking shelter sgainst the wind

Well those drifter’s days are past me now
I’ve got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, what to leave out

Against the wind
I’m still runnin’ against the wind
I’m older now but still runnin’ against the wind
Well I’m older now and still runnin’
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind

Still runnin’
I’m still runnin’ against the wind
I’m still runnin’
I’m still runnin’ against the wind
Still runnin’
Runnin’ against the wind
Runnin’ against the wind
See the young man run
Watch the young man run
Watch the young man runnin’
He’ll be runnin’ against the wind
Let the cowboys ride
Let the cowboys ride
They’ll be ridin’ against the wind
Against the wind …

Contra o Vento

Parece ontem
Mas foi há muito tempo
Janey era amorosa, ela era a rainha das minhas noites
Lá no escuro com o rádio tocando baixo
E os segredos que dividíamos
As montanhas que movíamos
Pego como um fogo selvagem fora de controle
Até que não houvesse nada mais para queimar
E nada mais para provar
E me lembro o que ela me disse
Como ela jurou que nunca iria terminar
Me lembro como ela me segurava tão forte
Gostaria que eu não soubesse agora o que eu não sabia então

Contra o vento
Nós corríamos contra o vento
Éramos jovens e fortes, nós corríamos
Contra o vento

E os anos passavam-se lentamente
E me achei sozinho
Cercado por estranhos que eu achava que fossem meus amigos
Me encontrei mais e mais longe de casa
E acho que perdi meu caminho
Havia tantas estradas
Eu vivia para correr e corria para viver
Nunca me preocupando de pagar
E nem mesmo acerca de quanto eu devia
Movendo a oito milhas por minuto a cada oito meses
Quebrando todas as regras que se distorceriam
E eu comecei a me achar procurando
Procurando por abrigo novamente e novamente
Contra o vento
Um pequeno algo contra o vento
Eu me encontrei procurando por abrigo contra o vento

Bem, aqueles dias sem rumo passaram-se
Eu tenho tanto para pensar
Prazos e compromissos
O que inclui, o que deixa da fora

Contra o vento
Eu ainda corro contra o vento
Eu estou mais velho mas continuo correndo
Contra o vento
Quando no momento continuo correndo
Contra o vento
