Chorus
In darkness we do what we can
In daylight we're oblivion
Our hearts so raw and clear
Are turning away, turning away from here
On water we have walked like the fearless child
What was fastened we've unlocked revealing wondrous wild
And in search for confirmation
We have jumped into the fire
And scrambled with our burning feet through uncontrolled desire
Chorus
There's a well upon the hill from our ancient past
Where an age is standing still holding strong and fast
And there's those that try to tame it
And the carve it into stone
Ah but words cannot extinguish it
However hard they're thrown
Chorus
On racherie they have worked with their island dreams
By lough cleggan they have nourished in the mountain streams
And in searching for acceptance
They have given it away
Only the children of our children
Know the price they had to pay
In darkness we do what we can
In daylight we're oblivion
Our hearts so raw and clear
Are turning away, turning away from here
On the water we have walked
Like the fearless child
What was fastened we've unlocked
Revealing wondrous wild
And in search of confirmation
We have jumped into the fire
And scrambled with our burning feet
Through uncontrolled desire
In darkness we do what we can
In daylight we're oblivion
Our hearts so raw and clear
Are turning away, turning away from here
There's a well upon the hill
From our ancient past
Where an age is standing
Still holding strong and fast
And there's those that try to tame it
And to carve it into stone
Ah but words cannot extinguish it
However hard they're thrown
In darkness we do what we can
In daylight we're oblivion
Our hearts so raw and clear
Are turning away, turning away from here
By Loch Etive they have worked
With their highland dreams
By Kilcrennan they have nourished
In the mountain streams.
And in searching for acceptance
They had given it away
Only the children of their children know
The price they had to pay
In darkness we do what we can
In daylight we're oblivion
Our hearts so raw and clear
None of your friends come near you
They've given up trying to steer you
Because your turning away
Turning away from love
Lately you look so ragged
The edge of your hearts become jagged
And your turning away
Turning away from love
I say your turning away turning away from love
I say your turning away turning away from love
Well she gives it to you without asking
A piece of her heart ever lasting
But your turning away
Turning away from love
Just when this old world needs all of the love it can get
Your turning away
Turning away from the one who really cares
Your turning away from love
I say your turning away
Turning away from love
Turning away
Turning away from love
Well she gives it to you without asking
A piece of her heart ever lasting
But your turning away
Turning away from love
I say your turning away
Turning away from love
Turning away
None of your friends come near you
They've given up trying to steer you
Because you're turning away, turning away from love
Lately you look so ragged
The edge of your heart's become jagged
And your turning away, turning away from love
I see ya turning away, turning away from love
I see ya turning away, turning away from love
Well, she gives it to you without asking
A piece of her heart everlasting
But you're turning away, turning away from love
Just when this old world needs all the love it can get
You're turning away
You're turning away from the one who really cares
Turning away from love
I see ya turning away, turning away from love
I see ya turning away, turning away from love
I see ya turning away, turning away from love
above a frozen plain a dirty cloud is rearing up and we
wolves can only watch
of all these falling lights the brightest ones are
scarring up and scars you cannot change
all of us still standing must learn to leap up without
landing
and quicken on the wind
when they're calling
lets not follow
then you'll see us
turning away
can't hold up this world alone, can't tear down this
world alone
never find a fucking home this my skin is what I own
broken glass and broken legs have no cup with which to
beg no shelter from the caustic rain sidewalk sleepers
gutter lain
and what matters now is not myself its something else
its to hold the candle still
For too long our hearts
Have yearned for silent oceans
You and I we share the same blinded lives
Story of a silent man's devotion
Forced to believe in disreputable lies
Why should we care what's beyond
When we're safe at last
This ancient contious gap
A self contious lack
Feeds our fear and again
We are turning away
From the spiral of fear
Not one reflection on the screen
That hasn't yet been seen
We are turning away
I'm not afraid to say
The more we turn we stay
Day by day this tidal wave draws its way
Breaks the threshold of our mind
Our so-called knowledge left behind
Indifference's the key to a bleached conformity
So credulous and clear through the mirror
We stare
Why should we help those in need
We are safe at last
This ancient contious gap
A self contious lack
Feeds our fear and again
We are turning away
From the spiral of fear
Not one reflection on the screen
That hasn't yet been seen
We are turning away
I'm not afraid to say
The more we turn we stay obsolete
