runaway
(Music: Marillion Lyrics: Steve Hogarth & John Helmer) Did you cry when they dragged you home Put a lock on the door and the telephone Was a runaway girl all they could see ... Have the nights and the days that you've come through Made the right seem wrong and the false seem true And was the runaway girl all they could see ... A teenage extra from the satellite TV Runaway girl Too bad, too bad Runaway girl Too wild, too wild Were they deaf to the prayer behind your lies Maybe they didn't dare to ask you why Was a runaway girl all they chose to see All they were prepared to admit to Runaway girl Too bad, too bad Runaway girl Areal wild child So you cower in the towns forgotten places And you make your bed with unfamiliar faces And at last you've got your freedom but that's all you've got You're tryin' to make your mind up if you're better off You pretend to wait for washing in some Laundromat But you're damned if you'll give them the satisfaction of you going back You'd freeze to death before you'd share a roof with them And you'd starve before you'd let him get his hands on you again Did you cry when they dragged you home Did you cry when they dragged you home.
