"I Ran All The Way Home" lyrics

Never mind the rain
Just be thankful that you're here
On holiday
Put your coat on, go and play
Here's some money for today
Don't talk to anyone
Or I'll send you to bed
Without any food
And I'll skin you alive
You know what I'll do

Don't you know that I love you?
Don't you know that I love you?

Collecting driftwood on a beach
Build it up like fire
Send a message to a passing ship
'Come and rescue me
Come and take me somewhere else
Where the weather's good
Now the tide's coming in
And it's starting to rain
But I'll be back tomorrow
And I'll try once again

I ran all the way home
I ran all the way home

I just want to go home
The novelty has worn off
We are not amused anymore
If you really love me
You'll let me go home
I just want to escape
I'm stuck in a Kodak moment
With people in the future I'll meet
If you really love me
Won't you let me go home?
I just want to go home
I ran all the way home

Met a couple on the beach
Said they'd lost a child like me
Several years ago
Said I reminded them
Of the way she might have looked
They had a photograph
They invited me back
To look at her room
I said "Maybe tomorrow
But I've got to go soon"

I ran all the way home
I ran all the way home

I just want to go escape
Don't want to be brave
Don't ever want to go back there again
If you really love me
You'll let me go home
I ran all the way home
I know that you love me
You're taking care of me
I'm frightened, I'm tired (If you really love me)
But I want to go home
I just want to go home

I ran all the way home
I ran all the way home
I ran all the way home
