I'm
a-walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder
I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder
Why
Why, why, why, why, why
She ran away
And I wonder
Where she will stay
My little runaway
A-run, run, run, run, runaway
A-run, run, run, run, runaway
A-run, run, run, run, runaway
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder
I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder
Why
Why, why, why, why, why
She ran away
And I wonder
Where she will stay
My little runaway
A-run, run, run, run, runaway
A-run, run, run, run, runaway
A-run, run, run, run, runaway
Runaway
is
not exactly a recent song – in fact it dates back to 1961. It was the song that made Del Shannon a star.
Del Shannon (real name Charles Weedon Westover) was in
his late 20's when he hit the big time with this song. He died in 1990 at the age of 56 – sadly he
shot himself.
Runaway is one of those songs that sticks in your
head. So be warned if you click this link to a YouTube
clip of it!
I have not thought of Del Shannon in years but I certainly do remember him! It's sad that some artists that bring such joy to others, sadly lose the joy of their own heart......
