A Flock Of Seagulls - I Ran So Far Away Lyrics




I walk along the avenue
+
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you
+
Meet a girl like you
+
With auburn hair and tawny eyes
+
The kind of eyes that hyptonize me through
+
Hypnotize me through
+
And I ran
+
I ran so far away
+
I just ran
+
I ran all night and day
+
I couldn't get away
+
A cloud appears above your head
+
A beam of light comes shining down on you
+
Shining down on you
+
The cloud is moving nearer still
+
Aurora Borealis comes in view
+
Aurora comes in view
+
And I ran
+
I ran so far away
+
I just ran
+
I ran all night and day
+
I couldn't get away
+
Reached out a hand to touch your face
+
You're slowly disappearing from my view
+
Appearing from my view
+
Reached out a hand to try again
+
I'm floating in a beam of light with you
+
A beam of light with you
+
And I ran
+
I ran so far away
+
I just ran
+
I ran all night and day
+
And I ran
+
I ran so far away
+
I just ran
+
I couldn't get away
+
And I ran
+
I ran so far away
+
I just ran
+
I couldn't get away
+

I Ran So Far Away

"I Ran (So Far Away)", also released as "I Ran", is a song by English new wave band A Flock of Seagulls. It was released in 1982 as their third single and it was the second single from their self-titled debut album. It topped the chart in Australia, and reached number seven in New Zealand and number nine in the United States. It was not successful in Europe and only reached number 31 in Germany. In the band's home country of the United Kingdom it reached number 43. However, the song was certified silver by the BPI.

In an article for Rolling Stone titled, "Anglomania: The Second British Invasion", Parke Puterbaugh wrote of the impact of the song's music video on its US chart success, "Fronted by a singer-synth player with a haircut stranger than anything you'd be likely to encounter in a month of poodle shows, A Flock of Seagulls struck gold on the first try."
