I'll Come Running Back - The Cockroaches

A cold wind blows, right up your street

As I drag my timid feet

Now will she smile or slap my face?

So many questions fill this place

But there’s one answer I do know

I couldn’t leave, I couldn’t go

So I’ll come running back to you

(Running back to)

I’ll come running back to you

The choir sang, it was our song

Their tears, they filled the sacristy

I see your face look sad at me

I hear the door slam as you run away

Separation again

There’s nothing left for me to do

So I’ll come running back to you

(Running back to)

I’ll come running back to you

Just like a cat left on its own

I’m all alone

Look over my shoulder

Just like a bird when it gets cold

I’m on the coal

Back where it’s warmer, yeah warmer

I prayed and prayed

Hoped that one day

(What did you pray?)

Oh, Lord, help me find my way

There came at me, a beam o' light

Aw, it hit my face and it hit my mind

You will always make me wonder

Wonder why a thousand times, yeah

I’ll come running back to you

(I'll come running back)

I’ll come running back to you

(I'll come running back)

So I’ll come running back to you

(I'll come running back)

I-I-I'll come running back to you
