Don't Turn Away Songtext / Lyric

You tell me that the world is cold and lonely

But some day you will make your dreams come true

I tell you that you're not the one and only

Who thinks that heaven's waiting just for you



Your hope it reeks of rotten, brackish water

Stinkin' trouble's gathered round your heart

I see the sheltered and beloved daughter

Whose little world completely fell apart



I'm fed up to my back teeth

To hear you talk like that

In all this crazy years

I think I've always smelt a rat

But!



Don't turn away

I'll be loving you

All my life






Little lies and compromise are with you

They blind yourself and say: "There's so much time!"

So now you're always waiting for tomorrow

But no one gives a dollar for a dime



I'm fed up to my back teeth

To hear you talk like that

In all this crazy years

I think I've always smelt a rat

But!



Don't turn away

I'll be loving you

All my life

Don't turn away

I'll be loving you

All my life



I'm fed up to my back teeth

To hear you talk like that

In all this crazy years

I think I've always smelt a rat

But!



Don't turn away

I'll be loving you

All my life

Don't turn away

I'll be loving you

All my life
