English Settlement
R U N A W A Y S
OOOOO h run-a, oh run-a oh runaways please come home
O O oh run-a, oh run-a, oh runaways-- please come home
O O daddy hit you in a temper, but he's sorry now-- please
O O come home just a quarrel had with mummy, just
OOOOO 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 light 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
