Hope For The Runaway Lyrics

Out in the city streets
Alone and weak
From the cold and hunger
Trembling hands unfold a photograph

Mom and Dan and Ann Marie
Smiles from a distant sunrise
The only smile you've seen in days

Come back to me
Come back my darlin'
Come back to me
Or I will fade away

Come back to me
Come back my darlin'
I still believe in you
My runaway

Jesse and Willy Lee
Play in the street
While their mother wonders
"Why won't they listen to a word I say?"

I sing a lullaby
To the baby in my arms
And the laughter fades away

Come back to me
Come back my darlin'
Come back to me
Or I will fade away

Come back to me
Come back my darlin'
I still believe in you
My runaway

Come back to me Come back my darlin'
I'm sending hope
For the runaway

Somewhere a flash of light
Cuts through the night
Like a lighthouse callin'
All of the lost and forgotten

And I made a vow I will continue
'Til I find you
I'll never stop, I'll never stop believein'

I will wait for you forever
Sending ya'll hope for the runaway
I will wait for you forever
Sending ya'll hope for the runaway

Come back to me
Come back my darlin'
I'm sending hope
For the runaway

Come back to me
Come back my darlin'
I'm sending hope
For the runaway

Come back to me
Come back my darlin'
I still believe in you
My runaway

Come back to me
Come back my darlin'
I'm sending hope
For the runaway
