Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
ย
You leave in the morning with everything you own in a little black case
Alone on a platform, the wind and the rain on a sad and lonely face
Mother will never understand why you have to leave
But the answers you seek will never be found at home
And the love that you need will never be found at home
ย
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Pushed around and kicked around, always a lonely boy
You were the one they'd talk about around town as they put you down
And as hard as they would try, they'd hurt to make you cry
But you never cried to them, just to your soul
No, you never cried to them, just to your soul
ย
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Crying, crying to your soul
To your soul, to your soul, to your soul
Cry (cry)
ย
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away (cry)
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away (cry)
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away (cry)
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away (cry)
