Look Away Songtext
von 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.
