Gary Hughes - The Runaway Damned

THE RUNAWAY DAMMED

There were shattered lives, no miracles
In a town that we once knew
Across a crowded room that night the only face was you
With the sound of lies still echoing from a thousand hopeful cues
She looked into his eyes of blue
Knew every word was true

Baby take my hand
Time for tender hearts to find a place
Somewhere deep inside our love's embrace
Like the runaway dammed
Baby take my hand
We can be like stars in timeless space
Free to live our lives with no disgrace
Like the runaway dammed

There's a hollow crown for innocence
In the church of open wounds
And they let fire and brimstone reign on a child within the womb
But it only fuelled his hunger for the life he craved with you
To take you far away from there
And the pious words of fools

Baby take my hand
Time for tender hearts to find a place
Somewhere deep inside true love's embrace
Like the runaway dammed
Baby take my hand
We can be like stars in timeless space
Free to speak our minds, with no disgrace
Like the runaway dammed

There were shattered lives, no miracles
In a town that we once knew
Across a crowded room that night the only face was you
