Big Country - Look Away lyrics

This time we run

this time we hide

This time we draw on all the fire we have inside.

We need some time to find a place

Where I can wipe away the madness from your face.

Our name is out

our name is known

Our name is everywhere

but who knows where we're flown.

I 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 were 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

When I was waiting tied and bound to be sent down.

Then I broke loose

you weren't around

So I raised banks and trains until I tracked you down.

Now look away

look away

. . .

You followed me why I said no

You lay with me when there was nowhere safe to go.

We made some friends

but now it's done

I always knew that we would never find the sun.

So look away

look away
