Mary Black - Turning Away lyrics

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 water we have walked like a fearless child

What was fastened we've unlocked revealing wond'rous wild

And in search for confirmation we have jumped into the fire

And scrambled with our burning feet through uncontrolled desire

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

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

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 Racherie they have worked with their island dreams

By Lough Cleggan they have nourished in the mountain streams

And in searching for acceptance they had given it away

Only the children of our children know the price they had to pay

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

And 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
