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

But 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 never cried to them
Just to your soul

No you never cried 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.


Cry, boy, cry...

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.
