Running Away

Running Away

I stand on a corner, under a dark sky
I want to see you, kiss you goodbye.
What do I say? What do I know?
What can I do? Where can I go?

Running away, how the time has flown
Running out here on my own.
I wish I could stay, but I got to be gone,
Running on my way back home.
Save a smile for me
Save a song for me
I'll catch you running
Running away.

Now, baby don't you let yourself be taken
We've been used, not forsaken.
I am with you, we face the same road.
I'll look for you, protect you from the overload.

Running away, how the time has flown
Running out here on my own.
I wish I could stay, but I got to be gone,
Running on my way back home.
Save a smile for me
Save a song for me
And watch me running
Running away.

This song appears on Tom Chapin's In The City Of Mercy CD.
