Lyrics

To your soul
To your soul
Cry
Cry
Cry
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 answers you seek will never be found at home
The love that you need will never be found at home
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 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
Run away, turn away
Run away, turn away
Run away (crying to your soul)
Run away, turn away
Run away, turn away (crying to your soul)
Run away (crying to your soul)
Run away, turn away
Run away, turn away (crying to your soul)
Run away
Run away, turn away (cry)
Run away, turn away
Run away
Cry boy, cry
Cry boy, cry boy, cry
Cry boy, cry boy, cry
Cry boy, cry boy, cry
Cry boy, cry boy, cry
Cry boy, cry boy, cry
Cry boy, cry boy, cry (cry)
Cry boy, cry boy, cry
Cry boy, cry boy, cry (cry)
Cry boy, cry boy, cry (cry)
Cry boy, cry boy, cry (cry)
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 (to your soul)
Run away, turn away
Run away (to your soul)
Run away, turn away
Run away, turn away
Run away
Run away, turn away
Run away, turn away
Run away (crying to your soul)
Run away, turn away
Run away, turn away
Run away (to your soul) (crying to your soul)
Run away, turn away
Run away, turn away (crying to your soul)
Run away (crying to your soul)
Run away, turn away
Run away, turn away (crying to your soul)
Run away
Run away, turn away (cry)
Run away, turn away
Run away
Run away, turn away (to your soul)
Run away, turn away
Run away (to your soul) (crying to your soul)
Run away, turn away
Run away, turn away (crying to your soul)
Run away (crying to your soul)
(Run away, turn away)
(Run away, turn away) crying to your soul
(Run away)
(Run away, turn away) cry
(Run away, turn away)
(Run away)
(Run away, turn away) to your soul
(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)
Run away, turn away
Run away, turn away
Run away
