Look Away Songtext

von Big Country

This time we run
This time we hide
This time we drow down all the fire
We have inside

We need some time
To find a place
Where I could wipe away the madness from your face

Our name is out
Our name is known
Our name is everywhere
But who knows where we've flown

I'd never meant
To kill a man
But I will show you how to live
Like no-one can

So look away, look away
Hide your eyes
From the land where I lie cold
Look away, look away
From the lies in the stories
That we're told
Look away, look away
From the love that I hide
Way down deep in my soul

I met you wild
In a snowed up town
Where I was waiting tired and bound
To be set down

Then I broke loose
And you weren't around
So I raised banks and trains
Until I tracked you down

Now look away, look away
Hide your eyes
From the land where I lie cold
Look away, look away
From the lies in the stories
That we're told
Look away, look away
From the love that I hide
Way down deep in my soul

You followed me
When I said no
You lay with me
When there was nowhere safe to go

We've made some friends
But now it's done
I always knew
That we would never find the sun

So look away, look away
Hide your eyes
From the land where I lie cold
Look away, look away
From the lies in the stories
That we're told
Look away, look away
From the love that I hide
Way down deep in my soul
