What is her name
That caravan girl
What is her name?

You like the sun
A hazy day
What is her name

We're just talkin'
Like there's something
Like you know
Don't you know
Don't you know

Runaway, runaway you, you get away and
Bring on back
Runaway, runaway you, you get away and
Bring on back

The food and game
That stranger on the hill
What is her name

You like the sun
A lazy day
Have you no name

Don't stop talkin'
There's just something
Like you know
I liked to know

You should
Or should I go
It's long, long
Way to go
I want to know
Yeah
I want to show

Runaway, runaway you, you get away and
Bring on back
Runaway, runaway you, you get away and
Bring on back

Wanna runaway
(La la la la la)
Wanna runaway
(La la la la la)
And bring on back
(La la la la la)
Wanna runaway
(La la la la la)
Wanna runaway
(La la la la la)
And bring on back
(La la la la la)
Wanna runaway
(La la la la la)
Wanna runaway
(La la la la la)
And bring on back
Wanna runaway
(La la la la la)
Wanna runaway
(La la la la la)
And bring on back
