TURNING AWAY

 

CHORUS

In darkness we do what we can

In daylight we’re oblivion

Our hearts so raw and clear

Are turning away, turning away from here

 

On the water we have walked like the

Fearless child

What was fastened we’ve unlocked

revealing wondrous wild

And in search of confirmation we have

jumped into the fire

And scrambled with our burning feet

through uncontrolled desire

CHORUS

 

There’s a well upon the hill from our

ancient past

Where an age is standing still holding

strong and fast

And there’s those that try to tame it

and to carve it into stone

Ah but words cannot extinguish it

However hard they’re thrown

CHORUS

 

On Loch Etive they have worked with

their Highland dreams

By Kilcrennan they have nourished in the

mountain streams

And in searching for acceptance they had

given it away

Only the children of their children know

the price they have to pay

CHORUS
