Runaway Songtext
von Troup

I was gonna be a racing driver
Going hundreds of miles an hour
In a fast car around the track
You were gonna love me till the stars fell from the skies
I was gonna love you girl right back

I was walking home from work dreaming
Kicking stones and aching for your open arms behind my door
But you just packed your suitcase
Dragged it down my corridor
High-tailed back to Brooklyn forevermore

Oh, she′s just a runaway
Where did she go?
I thought I knew
I know what I know what I know
Hey, she's just a runaway
Where did she go?
I thought I knew
I know what I know
And I know I don′t know


Remember we were young
We didn't give a damn
We swam naked in the river man
I'd have died for you, you′d have killed for me
You were gonna love me till that riverbed ran dry
I was gonna love you till I died

When you were fast asleep I used to hold you
Just kissing on your shoulder
I′d breathe a thousand poems in your ear
So must I wait a lifetime for your love to reappear?
I'm getting old and midnight′s nearly here

Oh, she's just a runaway
Where did she go?
I thought I knew
I know what I know what I know
Hey, she′s just a runaway
Where did she go?
I thought I knew
I know what I know
And I know I don't know

So, so run away down the line
′Cause you ain't no friend of mine
And your wedding bell still chimes


So I was gonna be a racing driver
Going hundreds of miles an hour
In a fast car around the track
You were gonna love me till the stars fell from the skies
I was gonna love you girl right back
