Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
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

Mother will never understand
Why you have to leave
But the love that 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'd 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
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away

Cry, cry
To your soul, to your soul
To your soul, to your soul
Cry, cry

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
