Look Away - Big Country

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

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

You followed me

When 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

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
