Look Away

And if you go walking, in a world made of stars
 The neon reflection, of your face in the dark
 And the heat of the city, in the curve of your palm
 Look away, my darling, look away my loved one
 And god bless the terror, that brings you to bed
 Your lily white knuckles, your bruising, your breath
 From the dark where you called out, and the things that you said
 Look away, my darling, look away my dear friend
 You're not alone, you're not alone, you're not alone
 And under your eyelids, it's quiet, it's safe
 But he stole the sun from where it lay on your face
 And never a day you don't cry out to wake
 Look away, my darling, look away, look away
 Look away, my darling, look away, look away
 And how deep the water that carries you home
 The warm cotton smell of the clean forest floor
 And drifting in dreams, let it go, let it go
 Look away, my darling, look away from it all
 Look away, my darling, look away from it al
