Lyrics:Runaways

by XTC

Oh run-a, oh run-a, oh runaways (Please come home) Oh run-a, oh run-a, oh runaways (Please come home} 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) You caught mum chasing daddy with a knife Don't cry, don't cry You ran away to escape from the fights Don't cry, don't cry Now you're lost in a maze of neon lights And she's worried, he's worried, she's worried, oh... Oh run-a, oh run-a, oh runaways (Please come home) Oh run-a, oh run-a, oh runaways (Please come home} 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) You heard screams from the warmth of your bed Don't cry, don't cry You slumbered on without being fed 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...

Oh run-a, oh run-a, oh runaways

(Please come home) Oh run-a, oh run-a, oh runaways (Please come home)
