Been a runner for a thousand years Been a thousand years since i've seen the land Since I held your hand Been a sailor for a thousand years Been a thousand years since I've seen the sea Since you saw me And I will not fade away And I will not fade away And I will not, I will not Walk away Been a fisherman all these years ... |

This has turned into a Who Is This Song By thread. |

03 Feb 16 - 08:55 AM (#3770326) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Been a runner/sailor for 1000 years From: GUEST,Mrr Sigh. It's kind of rock-and-roll-y folksy bluesy, the rest of the album I liked much less except for a couple of songs later (probably one was #9, don't know why #9 tends to be best on an album, see Enjoy Every Sandwich), and it's the other songs I'm trying to get back to in my brain. The way I got to this one was rediscovering the album that had been on the other side of the tape, and re-hearing the last one on that album brought the first one on the flip side back to mind... I want an Inside Out experience where I can just go through my memories. I *know* it's in there somewhere. |

04 Feb 16 - 03:24 AM (#3770483) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Been a runner/sailor for 1000 years From: Will Fly A naive suggestion - and one you may have tried already: can you remember any of the other stuff on the album, perhaps more clearly? If you can find the album, then the search for the song might be easier. But you've probably gone that route... |

How about recording an mp3 or YouTube even just humming the tune? Could you find any rock or c&w forums to ask on? And as Megan said, a date. It was a band rather than a solo? US or English? ... |

04 Feb 16 - 05:14 PM (#3770622) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Been a runner/sailor for 1000 years From: Mrrzy (The reason there were two threads is that, when the Lyr Req failed (which astounded me) I posed the Stumped challenge on the theory that *that* would bring some diggers out of the woodwork... and it worked, I *love* this place!) And I was right about the mondegreen, too - miner, runner. He's deeper underground than my imagery, when he's ashore. Weird how I had the sense that the imagery changed before remembering the lyrics with the different imagery, too! |

And they did research. I am becoming more and more impressed that *I* once owned this record, even if it was on cassette tape. I may need to reconnect with Sean Haugh, the North Carolinian libertarian, who gave it to me way back when I stood up for him at his wedding. |
