Hope For The Runaway

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
