Lyrics Big Country

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

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.
