Look Away by 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

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
