The Runaway Damned

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
