Turning Away Songtext

von Dougie MacLean

CHORUS
In darkness we do what we can
In daylight we're oblivion
Our hearts so raw and clear
Are turning away, turning away from here

On the water we have walked like the
Fearless child
What was fastened we've unlocked
Revealing wondrous wild
And in search of confirmation we have
Jumped into the fire
And scrambled with our burning feet
Through uncontrolled desire
CHORUS

There's a well upon the hill from our
Ancient past
Where an age is standing still holding
Strong and fast
And there's those that try to tame it
And to carve it into stone
Ah but words cannot extinguish it
However hard they're thrown
CHORUS

On Loch Etive they have worked with
Their Highland dreams
By Kilcrennan they have nourished in the
Mountain streams
And in searching for acceptance they had
Given it away
Only the children of their children know
The price they have to pay
CHORUS
