Runaway
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Runaway, all alone, on these streets you call your home
Fade to black, painted smile
On these streets there cries a wounded child
On the run, shadows always falling
It's a high price that you pay
Runaway
This life that you choose
Leaves a burning in my heart
Runaway
It's a game that you lose
It can tear my soul apart
You're a Runaway,
You're a Runaway
Runaway, all alone, turns the corner toward a telephone
Pik it up, then call my name
Tell me when you want to end this game
On the run, shadows always falling
It's a high price that you pay
Runaway
This life that you choose
Leaves a burning in my heart
Runaway
It's a game that you lose
It can tear my soul apart
You're a Runaway,
You're a Runaway
You're a runaway, and you're harder than stone
You're a runaway
But are you woman enough not to be alone?
You're a runaway, you gotta an angry heart
You're a runaway, and when you're ready baby
I'll let you finish what you start
Runaway
This life that you choose
Leaves a burning in my heart
Runaway
It's a game that you lose
It can tear my soul apart
You're a Runaway,
You're a Runaway
