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)
