Runaway - Del Shannon tribute

Cover version by Pequinito. A tribute to Del Shannon.
Words and music by Del Shannon / Max Crook
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 done
Together, while our hearts were young
I'm walking in the rain, tears are falling and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me, to end this misery
And I wonder, I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder
Why, why-why-why-why-why, she ran away
And I wonder, where she will stay
My little runaway, a-run-run-run-run-runaway

---instrumental---

I'm walking in the rain, tears are falling and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me, to end this misery
And I wonder, I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder
Why, why-why-why-why-why, she ran away
And I wonder, where she will stay
My little runaway, a-run-run-run-run-runaway
A-run-run-run-run-runaway, a-run-run-run-run-runaway....

It's a shame that so called musical artist nowadays get millions for their crappy songs, and someone like this talented man was never given his true rewards.

RIP Del!

@FRANK1FM  look up the version that country artist Gary Alan did.. he didnt change the way the lyrics were sung or anything like that, the melody is just a little more sped up. But is great!
