Look Away Lyrics

Big Country Look Away

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
. . .
