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 For 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 that 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'd never cry to them, just to your soul No, you'd never cry 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 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
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
