Runaways

[Chorus]

Oh run a, oh run a, oh runaway

Oh run a, oh run a, oh runaway

(Please come home)

Oh run a, oh run a, oh runaway

(Please come home)

[Verse 1]

Daddy hit you in a temper

But he's sorry now

(Please come home)

Just a quarrel had with mummy

Just a family row

(Please come home)

[Pre-Chorus 1]

You caught mum chasing dad with a knife

(Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry)

You ran away to escape from the fights

(Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry)

Now you're lost in a maze of neon light

And she's worried, he's worried

She's worried, oh

[Chorus]

Oh run a, oh run a, oh runaway

(Please come home)

Oh run a, oh run a, oh runaway

(Please come home)

[Verse 2]

Pacing street lamps on the highway

Haystack for your bed

(Please come home)

In the morning we will find you

In papers to be read

(Please come home)

[Pre-Chorus 2]

You heard screams from the warmth of your bed

(Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry)

You slumbered on without being fed

(Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry)

Now there's no more tears to be shed

And she's sorry, he's sorry

She's sorry, oh

[Outro]

Oh run a, oh run a, oh runaway

Oh run a, oh run a, oh runaway

(Please come home, please come home)

Oh run a, oh run a, oh runaway

(Please come home, please come home, please come home)

Oh run a, oh run a, oh runaway

(Please come home, please come home, please come home)
