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

Someone's thrown away their children

You can see them running from your smile

Sing for the runaway children

The throw away child
