| Oh oh, the sun’s gone down
|
| Her day begins
|
| And the rhythm of the darkness wakes the dead
|
| Don’t answer eyes that smile
|
| Don’t let them in
|
| They see the lonely child
|
| She feels their sin
|
| But it’s getting so much colder and she’s afraid
|
| Never going back to where the pain was
|
| She’d rather face the pain that’s here and now
|
| Someone’s thrown away their children
|
| You can see them running from your smile
|
| Sing for the runaway children
|
| The throw away child
|
| 'I'll make you safe and warm'
|
| Words she needs to hear
|
| What they really mean is 'No more, little girl'
|
| Don’t see her any more
|
| They disappear
|
| Yesterday they said that she was dying
|
| And just today I heard that she was dead
|
| Someone’s thrown away their children
|
| You can see them running from your smile
|
| Sing for the runaway children
|
| The throw away child
|
| Someone’s thrown away their children
|
| You can hear them only if you try
|
| Sing for the runaway children
|
| Goodbye
|
| (Someone's thrown away their children
|
| You can see them running from your smile
|
| Sing for the runaway children
|
| The throw away child)
|
| (Someone's thrown away their children
|
| You can see them running from your smile
|
| Sing for the runaway children
|
| The throw away child) |
