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 odourless everyone 
And it’s harder to walk these days than run 

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 a 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 

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 
Easier to walk these days than run 
Than run 
Than run 
Oh it’s easier to walk these days than run
