Lyrics:
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 had to leave
But the the love that you need
Will never be found at home
And the answers you seek
Will never be found at home
Turn away, run away, turn away, run away, run away.
Turn away, run away, turn away, run away, turn away.
Pushed around and kicked around
Always a lonely boy
You were the one
That they'd talk about around town
As they put you down
But as hard as they would try
To hurt and make you cry
You would never cry to them
Just to your soul
No you would never cry to them
Just to your soul
You will never cry to them
Just to your soul
Turn away, run away, turn away, run away, run away.
Turn away, run away, turn away, run away, turn away.
