[Verse]
AmI walked along the avenue
I never thought I'd meet a girl like Gyou, meet a girl like you
AmWith auburn hair and tawny eyes 
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me Gthrough, hypnotize me through
[Chorus]
And I Fran, I ran so far aGway
I just Fran, I ran all night and Gday
N.C.
I couldn’t get away
A  G  A  G
[Verse]
AmA cloud appears above your head
A beam of light comes shining down on Gyou, shining down on you
AmThe cloud is moving nearer still
Aurora borealis comes in Gview, Aurora comes in view
[Chorus]
And I Fran, I ran so far aGway
I just Fran, I ran all night and Gday
N.C.
I couldn’t get away

[Verse]
AmReached out a hand to touch your face
You’re slowly disappearing from my Gview; ‘pearing from my view
AmReached out a hand to try again
I’m floating in a beam of light with Gyou, A beam of light with you
[Chorus]
And I Fran, I ran so far aGway
I just Fran, I ran all night and Gday
And I Fran, I ran so far aGway

I just ran, I couldn’t get away
