Runaway

(album: Dressed For Drowning - 1980)

Don't play that song for me
'Cause you know that melody only breaks me down
I was a queen
Who now wears a broken crown

Don't play that honky-tonk
'Cause you know that same old song only makes me cry
Times gone by, our love lit up the sky

Our romance hit the neighbourhood
Like a hurricane
Now I'm left with a broken heart
And a telegram

Runaway, and I thought that you were here to stay
But you broke my heart and ran away
Runaway
Runaway, won't you come on back to me one day
Until then I'll hide my heart away

Don't play that song again
It hurts to see all my friends on the dancing floor
There was a time when we had so much more
We shared that melody
Now all I have ais a memory of a precious time
It's a crime, our words no longer rhyme

Our romance set the world on fire like a burning flame
But all that's left is a broken heart
And a telegram...

Runaway, and I thought that you were here to stay
But you broke my heart and ran away
Runaway
Runaway, won't you come on back to me one day
Until then I'll hide my heart away

Runaway, you came and stole the sun away
All you left me was a rainy day
Runaway
Runaway, I hope that you'll come back to me one day
Until then I'll hide my heart away
Runaway...

Runaway, and I thought that you were here to stay
But you broke my heart and ran away
Runaway
Runaway, won't you come on back to me one day
Until then I'll hide my heart away
