Lyrics:

Why did you run away
(Plat/Veerman/Keizer/Tuijp)

The skies were blue on a glorious day
We were so deep in love
But then grey clouds came threatening;
Darkened the skies above
It was like a thunder-storm, that crossed our way

Why did you run away from me babe
Lovers should know
In the game of love, you fall on evil days
Why did you run away from me babe
When I needed you most
I am drowning, please throw me a line

Our love was like a fairy-tale
We lived in Wonderland
The wicked world - so far away
While we walked hand in hand
Then an evil witch flew by; tore us apart

Why did you run away from me babe
Lovers should know
In the game of love, you fall on evil days
Why did you run away from me babe
When I needed you most
I am drowning, please throw me a line

The darkest hour is before the dawn, also for me and you
You know that even thunder-clouds, have a silver lining too

Oooooooh lalala
Oooooooh lalala
Oooooooh lalala
Oooooooh

Why did you run away from me babe
Lovers should know
In the game of love, you fall on evil days
Why did you run away from me babe
When I needed you most
I am drowning, please throw me a line

Oooooooh lalala
Oooooooh
