Lyrics
You lonely soul
No place to go nowhere to hide
A faded dream
A silent scream each sleepless night
Feeling a fool
That you ever believed
The streets were paved with gold
That's the story your pretty face told
And I can tell by the look in your eye
You're a runaway
Why do you treat your folks so bad?
You've got the look in your eye
Of a runaway
Think of all the love you really had
Come home with me
Come home now that you've realised
To love no-one
And live alone is suicide
Oh come home
And we'll take our time
'Cos two is better than one
And you aint never gonna make it alone
You've gotta walk before you run
Look before you leap
Don't waste your money
Playing pinball games
'Cos the deeper in debt
The harder it gets
To make your way back home
Just look what you've done
This aint your freedom
You've got the look in your eye
You're a runaway
Why do you treat your folks so bad?
You've got the look in your eye
Of a runaway
Think of all the love you had
You've got the look in your eye
Of a runaway
Think of all the love you really had
