Lyrics

Run away
Turn away
Run away
Turn away, run away
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
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
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
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
The Love that you need
The Love that you need
The Love that you need
The Love that you need
That you need
The Love that you need
The Love that you need
That you need
The Love that you need
The Love that you need
The Love that you need
The Love that you need
That you need
The Love that you need
The Love that you need
The Love that you need
The Love that you need
That you need
The Love that you need
The Love that you need
The Love that you need
The Love that you need
That you need
The Love that you need
The Love that you need
The Love that you need
The Love that you need
That you need
