"Runaway, Come Home" lyrics

That's where I ran out of road, left a little of my soul there
Broke down, come back home, Mumma, life didn't do me fair
Gotta go fast, can't stop here, no time to catch my breath
Never thought I'd end up alone, never thought it'd break my back

Say nothing, say nothing, just needed to hear your voice
Keep wishing on nothing to see your little boy, mmm

'Cause I've been gone so long that I can barely see your face
And now you're just a photograph I kept to take your place
With what the years have done to me
Am I the man you said I'd be?
'Cause I've been gone so long that I can barely see your face
Runaway, come home

Time
Passes ever by
Like sailboats in the night
Silent, out of sight, mmm
Will
You recognise me still?
Because I tend to kill
The good that you instilled, mmm

Say nothing, say nothing, just needed to hear your voice
Keep wishing on nothing to see your little boy, mmm

'Cause I've been gone so long that I can barely see your face
And now you're just a photograph I kept to take your place
With what the years have done to me
Am I the man you said I'd be?
'Cause I've been gone so long that I can barely see your face
Runaway, come home
Runaway, come home
Runaway, come home
Runaway, come home
Runaway, come home

With what the years have done to me
Am I the man you said I'd be?
'Cause I've been gone so long that I can barely see your face
Runaway, come home
