Hope For The Runaway

Out in the city strees 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. CHORUS Come back to me Come back my darlinCome back to me Or I will fade away Come back to me Come back my darlinI 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. CHORUS Come back to me Come back my darlinI'm sending hope For the runaway Somewhere a flash of light Cuts through the night Like a lighthouse callinAll of the lost and forgotten. I made a vow I will continue 'Till i find you. I'll never stop, I'll never stop believein I will wait for you forever Sending you Hope for the runaway.
