Queen - Runaway Lyrics






As I walk along I wonder
What went wrong with our love
A love that was so strong
And as I still walk on I think of
The things we've done together
While our hearts were young

I'm a-walking in the rain
Tears are falling and I feel the pain
Wishing you were here by me
To end this misery and I wonder
I wah, wah, wah, wah wonder
Why
Why, why, why, why, why she ran away
And I wonder when she will stay
My little runaway a-run, run, run, run, a-runaway

I'm a-walking in the rain
Tears are falling and I feel the pain
Wishing you were here by me
To end this misery and I wonder
I wah, wah, wah, wah wonder
Why
Why, why, why, why, why she ran away
And I wonder when she will stay
My little runaway, a-run, run, run, run, a-runaway
Run run run run runaway
Run run run run runaway

  2. J.... ....

    Imagine Freddy Mercury singing this

  3. t.... ....

    one of the most expression version I'v heard

  4. y.... ....

    Oh HELL NO. If you're going to redo Runaway, at the very least, get someone with a voice. I've heard three remakes of this song in the last 20 minutes and this ranks right down there with Bonnie Raitt's version. Hopefully my ears will stop bleeding soon.

  5. F.... K....

    Love it...one of my all time favorite songs now done by Paul and Queen. Wow great 💗

    F.... K....

    Thank you :)

  6. C.... B....

  10. A.... S....

    I love this version! And the Crime Story version. I think Paul Rodgers has a great voice.

  11. S.... M....

    Not a patch on Del Shannon tbh.

  12. G.... V....

    Paul Rodgers = Chuck Norris.

  13. L.... V....

  14. 7.... ....

    Brian May always inimitable

  15. R.... V....

    cuando pensé q ya nada me sorprendería oigo esta versión!

  16. E.... K....

    C A its a good show you tube has the eps

  17. M.... ....

    I still say in the series the original head of the squad who left and ended up working for the mob was a plant of some kind .....

  18. G.... H....

    I do not like Paul Rodgers. He is a shitty singer.

    G.... H....

    Well, I totally disagree, I find him one of the greatest voices in rock 'n' roll. But, of course, I'm not going to try to convince you - de gustibus non est disputandum. However, if you don't like him, you don't have to listen to him. Cheers!

    G.... H....

    Sure. I'm not listening Paul Rogers. But if any one likes him - i don't care.

    G.... H....

    Green Hat
    Fuck you.

  19. R.... K....

    Love it! Paul Rogers you've won me over! Brian....say no more. You're one of the best ever!!!! Love this version.

    R.... K....

  24. m.... ....

    m.... ....

    You're welcome! Thank you :)

  27. Y.... L....

    no sabia que mi banda favorita hizl este cover !!

  28. J.... H....

    I really dont think this is Queen and Paul Rodgers, but I like it anyway.

    J.... H....

    I don't get it - in what way you don't think it's Q+PR? They did record this track, here is the proof - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZxvYDGcuPI

    But if you just think that it doesn't sound like Q+PR - then I get it, but quite disagree ;).

    J.... H....

    Okay, I'm wrong.  Just didnt sound right for some reason. I think what messed me up is the video is clearly another song...doesnt match the lyrics at all.

  29. w.... ....

    WOW.you guys did a great job.Del would be so proud

  30. G.... Z....

    es increible

    no sabía que mi banda favorita la hizo cover

    G.... Z....

    Es el bono de iTunes para The Cosmos Rocks
    (I'm google-translating, so it;s probably not the perfect Spanish ;))

    G.... Z....

    Guillermo Zamudio

  31. b.... b....

    best cover by a long way

  32. I.... S....

    esta versión es la mejor.

  33. A.... G....

    this is really cool...Brian May...so amazing!!

  34. C.... S....

    I love this version! I love Queen and Paul Rodgers

  35. R.... S....

    Dennis Farina was the best!

  36. s.... ....

    i say, damn good work young fellow, here have half a crown

    s.... ....

    Thank you, Sir, much appreciated! ;)

  37. E.... M....

    JUST BEAUTIFUL!!! THANKS FOR THE POST!!!

    E.... M....

    Thank you, you're very kind :)

  38. M.... W....

    The version on "Crime Story" had different lyrics, re-written and newly recorded by Del Shannon, especially for the show.

  39. P.... K....

    Супер!!!!

    P.... K....

    Благодаря! or Спасибо! Sorry, I'm not sure where are you from ;).

    P.... K....

    Я из России!!!! Привет...!!!

  40. D.... W....

    Most excellent version. Thanks!

  41. S.... I....

    😃❤😍

  42. A.... K....

    Amazing song and Pauls voice is a gem

  43. M.... ....

    Is like Cyndi Lauper "girls just want to have fun" (1983) and Scott McKenzie "San Francisco" (1967).

  44. X.... V....

    I didn't know Chuck Norris played with Queen

    X.... V....

    I thought the same lol

  45. V.... ....

    Very cool.

  46. S.... H....

    This song is so completely over done it really sounds like crap compared to the original.

    S.... H....

    This crap sounds pretty good.

    S.... H....

    Your stupidity is amazing.

  47. C.... A....

    This is a great cover of a classic song.
    I have not seen the show and I need to
    Find it and watch it. It seems interesting
    Along with Miami Vice.

    C.... A....

    just got boxset off ebay, classic oldskool cop show

    C.... A....

    Does it have the real 60s music still in it, or did they do like WKRP and pull out all the licensed tracks?

    C.... A....

    real music mate

    C.... A....

    Gotta look for that.

    I was fifteen in '63 (when it's set) and i was born in Chicago (though i grew up elsewhere) and i loved the Chicago episodes.

    It sort of derives from Mann's film "Thief".

    In case you didn't know - the guy who plays Pauli Taglia was originally hired to be the technical advisor on the vault jewelry robbery (for "Thief") ... he actually DID it.

    C.... A....

    @Mike Weber interesting, thanks

  48. S.... B....

    RIP Dennis Farina...you're a legend and crime story would not be the same without you...#runaway

    S.... B....

    Shameema Bhyat I agree.He was fantastic actor.Miss him still

    S.... B....

    Shameema Bhyat Was a great cop, too

    S.... B....

    Farina was a Chicago cop, Don't think I want him chasing me IRL!

    S.... B....

    fooman2108 Farina was an eighteen year veteran police officer

    S.... B....

    Like I said I don't think I wasn't this guy chasing me!

  49. A.... J....

    Which album stay this song please ???

    A.... J....

    @Alejandro Jodar They had planned to release it as a bonus track on The Cosmos Rocks album, but in the end - unfortunately - it was just an iTunes track.

    A.... J....

    Thank for reply, saludos !!!

  50. D.... P....

    Perfect,thank you!!!

    D.... P....

    @Denis Pahor Thank you, sir :)

  51. A.... D....

    Wow😈

  52. j.... h....

    If you don't like this, you will burn in hell.

    j.... h....

    hahaha..good point

  53. j.... h....

    2 cool. It's amazing what you young people can do.

    j.... h....

    @jack hamilton I just wish I had better quality source materials at the time... Some frames look just like one big pixel ;).

  54. c.... d....

    increible muy bueno

  55. M.... P....

    Should have done this live,Would also love Adam to have a go of this.Would also love Adam to have a go at a few Cosmos Rocks Songs

  56. D.... H....

    Brilliant mix of clips dude, well done! BTW I just got the entire DVD boxed set of Crime Story delivered today..... Know what I'll be watching tonight!

    D.... H....

    Thank you!

    Great show, isn't it? :)

  57. m.... ....

    Good cover, there's only one thing missing:  More of Brian May's guitar harmonies.

  58. J.... ....

    Apart from God Save The Queen, is this the only cover Queen have done?
    Because I think it's awesome.

    J.... ....

    Apart from some live covers (Tutti Frutti, Jailhouse Rock, Be Bop A Lula, Stupid Cupid, Big Spender, Hello Mary-Lou, Tavaszi Szel, Saturday Night Alright For Fighting, Immigrant Song, Imagine - both Queen and Q+PR - snippets of some "local" songs and snippet of Sunshine of Your Love - Q+PR only) - not really. See What a Fool I've Been is based on The Way I Feel (Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee), both Brian and Roger did quite a few covers on their solo albums.

    J.... ....

    @MikeBoatCityPl Cool

  59. d.... l....

    rushed the vocals too much

  60. s.... c....

    !!!!!!!!!!

  61. m.... ....

    love it

  62. c.... ....

    apparently very few people have listened to Del's version for the TV show Crime Story....

    c.... ....

    I like all versions of this song by Del. I like this one too.

  63. K.... K....

    Impressive.

  64. e.... z....

    I love son :)

    e.... z....

    Sorry song ;)

  65. L.... ....

    shooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

  69. m.... j....

    la serie era genial!!!!

  70. 5.... ....

    I hate being negitive but this is not good, vox sux.  Drummer is playing a different song.

  71. R.... ....

    This is actually a cover of the original version of Runaway, not the one used in Crime Story (the lyrics are different).

  72. J.... M....

    la mejor version del tema posdata
    la original de 10
    la nueva 10
    amo este tema

  73. V.... J....

    Hermosa versión ....go Queen!!!

  74. P.... A....

    un clasico

  75. G.... b....

    Super :)

  76. M.... ....

    Wasn't Crime Story a TV show?

    M.... ....

    Of course it was! I have no idea why I wrote it's "a movie". Funny though that it took almost five years to notice this shameful mistake. Thanks!

    M.... ....

    @MikeBoatCityPl Better late than never.

  77. S.... B....

    Brilliant version of Del Shannon's Runaway

  78. T.... P....

    awesome

  79. P.... G....

    To autentyczne wykonanie z Queen, czy solo Rodgersa?

    P.... G....

    To bonus i-Tunes do albumu Queen + Paul Rodgers - The Cosmos Rocks, zatem jak najbardziej słyszysz tam Briana i Rogera :).

  80. A.... ....

    Oh my god.. I can hear auto tune here so bad..that or melodine..

  81. t.... ....

    Jest lepszy serial???

  82. L.... N....

    Fabulous
    Love it !
    Thankyou for posting

  85. G.... G....

    thanks

  86. g.... ....

    great thanks for making it. I always thought that Paul Rodgers was the best and this is a great cover. thanks again. john

  87. j.... b....

    This is awesome! Thank you!

  88. M.... ....

    Over 100,000 views! Thank you so much! :)

  89. �.... �....

    Прекрасное исполнение! Но как бы мне хотелось послушать эту песню в исполнении Фредду...

  90. R.... R....

    Thanks entertaining...

  91. M.... ....

    RIP Dennis Farina. He was truly a wonderful, talented actor! He lived the part!
    Gone too soon!

  92. m.... ....

    RIP Dennis Farina, cop turned actor playing cop. Mike Torello was a great character , his acting debut I think.

  93. R.... R....

    Neat job! The Crime Story theme had some different lyrics, befitting the spirit of the show. Try to find the series open for the episodes done in Vegas... the visuals are very cool...

  94. z.... ....

    I'm a-walkin' in the rain
    Spills are fallin' and I feel the pain
    Wishin' you were on your knees
    To end my misery
    hehe..

  95. 0.... K....

    dislike, Shannon's version will always be my favourite

  96. M.... ....

    I agree with TheCultio - the version from Crime Story is re-recorded by Shannon and Rungren has never sung it. Please compare the series version with this: /watch?v=n63jiDIq8FM

  97. C.... ....

    You're wrong. The TV version is sung in a lower register to that of Shannon's voice.

  98. T.... ....

    Wrong. The theme song for Crime Story was a revised version and was sang by its composer Del Shannon. Todd composed music for the TV Series but never sang Runaway.

  99. E.... F....

    Sorry
    Todd's version / voice does not compete to Del Shannon
    And the band does not compete to Queen
    So, queen's version is the best in terms of power of Rock'roll
