Look Away

Look Away - Anna Tivel

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

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 all
