Píseň: Runaway Girl

Interpret:
Kenny Rogers
Album:
Love Lifted Me
You always were a dreamer 
with your eyes on the horizon
Wondering what laid beyond 
as far as you could see
You left to find a castle, 
a knight in shining armor
Or maybe just to spread your wings 
and feel that you are free.


Runaway girl, 
there´s  someone here who loves you
And understands you, 
you´re  not alone
Runaway girl, 
I won´t  stop until I found you
And put my arms around you 
and take you home.


You longed to fame and fortune, 
you were looking for a rainbow
Knowing someone down the line 
has found your heart of gold
Castles sometimes crumble 
and too often dreams were shattered
Then you´ll  be left with nothing 
but a tortured mind and soul


Runaway girl, 
there´s  someone here who loves you
And understands you, 
you´re  not alone
Runaway girl, 
I won´t  stop until I found you
And put my arms around you 
and take you home.


Runaway girl, 
there´s  someone here who loves you
And understands you, 
you´re  not alone
Runaway girl, 
I won´t  stop until I found you
And put my arms around you 
and take you home.
