Turned Away (with Tony Scherr) Songtext

von Snarky Puppy

There once was a man he was so laid out and low, he said
"Come down here darling where everything is so slow".
She turned away.

She came from a town, this lovely town
Where she had got to be young, but nobody was home.
She turned away
She turned away

So she went to a world to find her bright busy life, and her
One true love was standing right by her side.
She turned away
She turned away

She turned away
From one thing at a time,
Without a second thought she'd turn on a dime
And the reasons got smaller while the losses would climb.
"It was all no good" she said; "I gave it a try..."

There was a job that could lead to all of her dreams,
But it wasn't enough; "it was not what it seemed"
She turned away
She turned away

She'd found her a friend who was so caring and nice,
When she asked her a question didn't like the advice.
She turned away
She turned away

Turned away,
Away from her home, away from her life, far from the drone.
And it filled her with rage that she could not fight.
It was useless and scary, she had locked herself tight...

And
In the silence of night as she wrestled her past,
She caught her tilted reflection in the side of a glass.
She turned away
She turned away

Turned away
She turned away

She was wrong and everything was gone
