Never mind the rain Just be thankful that you're here On holiday Put your coat on, go and play Here's some money for today Don't talk to anyone Or I'll send you to bed Without any food And I'll skin you alive You know what I'll do Don't you know that I love you? Don't you know that I love you? Collecting driftwood on a beach Build it up like fire Send a message to a passing ship 'Come and rescue me Come and take me somewhere else Where the weather's good' Now the tide's coming in And it's starting to rain But I'll be back tomorrow And I'll try once again I ran all the way home I ran all the way home I just want to go home The novelty has worn off We are not amused anymore If you really love me You'll let me go home I just want to escape I'm stuck in a Kodak moment With people in the future? If you really love me Won't you let me go home? I just want to go home I ran all the way home Met a couple on the beach Said they'd lost a child like me Several years ago Said I reminded them Of the way she might have looked They had a photograph They invited me back To look at her room I said maybe tomorrow But I've got to go soon I ran all the way home I ran all the way home I just want to go escape Don't want to be brave Don't ever want to go back there again If you really love me You'll let me go home I ran all the way home I know that you love me You're taking care of me I'm frightened, I'm tired (If you really love me) But I want to go home I just want to go home I ran all the way home I ran all the way home I ran all the way home
