A wonderful song! Great vocals and harmonies!

Thanks Bengt. Alfredo’s great tune provided the perfect platform for this!

Great stuff, the depth of Alfredo's signature production and guitars coupled with your creative song

This works seemingly well together. I like the vibe

Thanks Nadine. Alfredo’s many strengths have compensated for my multitude of sins.

Brilliant track! Great ❤️🎶👍❤️

I think the last 3 songs in particular have taken a real step up in purpose- Still it moves (fantastic lyrics), runaway (powerful melody, music and production) and Night Flight Over Tokyo - a real dance feel and groove. Well done. Your songwriting always been good, but adding that extra dimension on top.

She was born in a town on the border,
Raised for the fourth of July,
She knew within  
She didn’t  fit in
Don't know why.

She didn’t go looking for trouble,
But trouble was always round,
It was always the same,
No-one to blame
Was what she always found.

Runaway and maybe you’ll find somewhere, a place,
A place to stay and feel that  you’re safe in your own space.

She moved to a part of the country,
That soon didn’t want her around,
It wasn’t long before she’s moving on
Southern-bound, from town to town to town.

Met a young man by the roadside,
She just couldn’t run anymore,
He listened to all that she said
That no-one ever listened to before.

Runaway and maybe you’ll find somewhere, a place,
A place to stay and feel that you’re safe in your own space,
But if the demons that you are running from are strong,
Then in your head you’ll find that they’ll follow on and on.

She thought about all he had shown her,
And sensing her journey’s end,
She realised the safest place
Is where you finally find a friend.

So don’t runaway and maybe you’ll find somewhere, a place,
A place to stay and feel that  you’re safe in your own space.
