Oh-oh, the sun`s gone down
Her day begins
And the rhythm of the darkness
Wakes the dead
Don`t answer eyes that smile
Don`t let them in
They see the lonely child
She feels their sin
But it`s getting so much colder
And she`s afraid
Never going back to where the pain was
She`d rather face the pain that`s here and now
Someone`s thrown away their children
You can see them running from your smile
Sing for the runaway children
The throw-away child
I`ll make you safe and warm
Words she needs to hear
What they really mean is no more little girl
Don`t see her anymore
They disappear
Yesterday they said that she was dying
And just today I heard that she was dead
Someone`s thrown away their children
You can see them running from your smile
Sing for the runaway children
The throw-away child
Someone`s thrown away their children
You can hear them only if you try
Sing for the runaway children
Goodbye
Someone`s thrown away their children
You can see them running from your smile
Sing for the runaway children
The throw-away child
