Singer Joan Osborne was born on July 8, 1962, in the town of Anchorage, KY, but it wasn't until relocating to New York City in the early '90s (to study at N.Y.U.'s film school) that she began to take a singing career seriously after singing Billie Holiday's classic "God Bless the Child" at a local bar's "open mic night."

Runnng Out Of Time Lyrics

Joan Osborne

Can you see me rising since your
Disappearance safe to say
That Ive regained myself
Sleeping like a baby still I wonder maybe
If well ever
Meet up somewhere else
Im bouncing you a message
Off the night sky
Youll get it in a while
How you walk around with all that
Contempt inside you im
Amazed that you can stand up straight
Turned up the volume when you heard
Me saying to you how
Does somebody switch from lvoe to hate
Im bouncing you a message
Off the night sky
Youll get it in a while
(chorus)
I know you feel it
Its right behind you
Its getting closer
You said yourself
Youre running out of time
If I ever sit to write the story
Ill say something nice
About you when youre dead
Moving like the ocean
Safe inside the notion that I can
Read it layin in my bed
Im bouncing you a message
Off the night sky
Youll get it in a while
(chorus)
I know you feel it
Its right behind you
Its getting closer
You said yourself
Youre running out of time
Yes its complicated if the feelings faded
Still its better
To have no regrets
When you think about me if you think
About me please
Remember that Ive done my best
Can you see me rising since your
Disappearance,safe to say
That Ive regained myself
Crawling like a baby.
Still I wonder maybe if well ever
Meet up somewhere else cause
(chorus)
I know you feel it
Its right behind you
Its getting closer
You saind yourself
Youre running out of time
