Runaway Lyrics by Chris Rea

Chris Rea

[Verse 1]
I'm sitting at the crossway
Trying to keep my cool with the traffic lights
I've been up and down this line so many times
Girl, it's never right
Well me and this machine keep the crazy urban dream
Locked in overflow
Aah sometimes I swear I could spin these old wheels
Just let it go

[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, runaway
Ooh-ooh, just runaway

[Verse 2]
Is it something that you hear
Coming through the waves on the radio
Or something that you see gently taps your memory
And shoots you down
Those hometown thoughts, the school yard dreams and yesterdays
Well I'm moving in, I just put my head down and drift away
And we're moving up and down, in and out of town
Searching for that piece of higher ground
Somewhere...yeah

[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, runaway, you and me girl
Ooh-ooh, just runaway, yeah
Ooh-ooh, oh runaway yeah
Ooh-ooh, runaway

[Bridge]
Moving up and down, in and out of town
We're searching for that piece of higher ground
Somewhere...yeah

[Outro]
Ooh-ooh, runaway
Ooh-ooh, runaway
Ooh-ooh, runaway, you and me girl
Ooh-ooh, runaway, runaway girl
Ooh-ooh, just runaway, girl just a-you and me
Ooh-ooh, runaway, runaway yeah
Ooh-ooh, runaway, oh run-runaway...
