Runaway by Kim Carnes Lyrics

I want to be a runaway, run run runaway
Fly like a bird, like a white-winged dove
Be a runaway, oh a runaway
'Til I find somebody to love

I want to dance with the ocean at high tide
Feel the power of the waves, heal what's broke inside
I want to swim in the fountain in the middle of the square
At the bottom of the Spanish steps, wishing you were there

I'd go driving down a two-lane highway chasing down wild trains
And all this baggage in the rearview mirror would slowly fall away

'Cause I want to be a runaway, run run runaway
Fly like a bird, like a white-winged dove
Want to be a runaway, oh a runaway
'Til I find somebody to love

I want to be a bird in the lowlands where the grass is high
When the wind starts chilling, well you can bet I'd fly
Be a twig on the river in the valley of the moon
I'd float on top at the mercy of the current and go anywhere soon
With freedom's kingdom laying at my feet, I'd stand real still
And all the tears I ever cried for you would finally disappear

With freedom's kingdom laying at my feet, I'd stand real still
All the tears I ever cried for you would finally disappear

'Cause I want to be a runaway, oh runaway
Fly like a bird, like a white-winged dove
Be a runaway, oh a runaway
'Til I find somebody to love

Want to be a runaway, run run runaway
Fly like a bird, like a white-winged dove
Want to be a runaway, oh a runaway
'Til I find somebody to love
Somebody to love
Somebody to love
