The story behind the song

"Come Running" was described by Van Morrison as a very light, happy-go-lucky song without a heavy message. However, its imagery of a passing train, wind, and rain evokes the implacable nature of life, suggesting that while the lovers dream their time together will never end, they know it ultimately will. The song, featured on his 1970 album Moondance, carries a bright rock tempo that slows at the end, much like a fleeting moment. It plays like a bittersweet reflection on the temporary nature of even the happiest times.
