Lyrics
Turn Away
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You knew it would happen, there was nothing to do
It's happened before and now it's happened to you
You were standing there waiting, you invited it in
You knew it should be someone but it had to be him...
Turn turn turn your back Turn turn turn your head
Turn turn turn away from the pain From the sad sad scene...
Everything was lovely or it seemed it was so
The flowers and the kisses so deadly and slow
The whirlwind of wine and music and lights
They slipped away your senses in a bright field of white...
Turn turn turn your back Turn turn turn your head
Turn turn turn away from the pain From the sad sad scene...
He killed you with your own heart He killed you with your own heart...
Now everything's over and your life is your own
You don't know what happened, oh but you should have known
Your heart feels so empty you feel it cave in
You gave away your soul when you gave it to him...
Turn turn turn your back Turn turn turn your head
Turn turn turn away from the pain From the sad sad scene...
