Runaway Son

Chris Thompson


Good Sister, Won't You Let Me In? 
I'm In Need Of Some Warmth And Shelter 
It's A Hard Luck Story, Don't Know Where To Begin 
I've Been Riding On Life's Helter-Skelter 

Save Me, Holy Mother, Please, Save Me! 
I Got A Heart Of Gold 

(Chorus) 

And For Your Love I'd Go Hungry And Thirsty 
I Need A Saviour And You're The One 
I Throw Myself Into The Arms Of Mercy 
There's Still Hope For The Runaway Son 

My Good Father, He Say To Me: 
"Better Come Back To Your Senses 
There's An Empty Bottle Lying On The Floor 
And It's Undermined Your Defences" 

Save Me, Holy Mother, Please, Save Me! 
I Got A Heart Of Gold 

(Repeat Chorus Twice) 

Good Brother, Show Me How To Get Home 
I've Been Walking In The Backyard Of Satan 
I'm So Stubborn That I'll Never Give In 
But Now My Hearts Cold And Aching 

Save Me, Holy Mother, Please, Save Me! 
I Got A Heart Of Gold 

And For Your Love I'd Go Hungry And Thirsty 
I Need A Saviour And You're The One 
I Throw Myself Into The Arms Of Mercy 
Salvation For The Runaway Son 

Save Me, Holy Mother, Please, Save Me! 
I Got A Heart Of Gold 

(Repeat Chorus) 

And For Your Love I'd Go Hungry And Thirsty 
I Need A Saviour And You're The One 
I Throw Myself Into The Arms Of Mercy 
Salvation For The Runaway Son
