THE CLARKS LYRICS - The Runaway

"The Runaway"



She swore by the deep long lines on her face cut like a badge of life

Worn by tracks and trials and alone somehow that didn’t seem right

Somehow that didn’t seem right



She lived for…

Sins of a better day

Girl you’re a runaway

Rode hard torn and frayed

When you’re a runaway



Stood for something and I stood too long I don’t know when to quit

Got a conscience on hold and the road reels me in I don’t know where I fit

I don’t know where I fit



She dreamed of

Sins of a better day

Girl you’re a runaway

Rode hard torn and frayed

When you’re a runaway



Face full of wind her mysteries survive I want to ride that wave

It keeps me running it keeps me high last words I heard her say



She drown in

Sins of a better day

Girl you’re a runaway

Rode hard torn and frayed

When you’re a runaway
