Not Turn Away Lyrics
The Revivalists
Lyrics
All I can see are blurs of red and yellow
Through the raindrops on my wind-shield
Nothing is clear to me, it seems nobody's moving
Well, is it an accident or just nowhere to go
I hope that you will follow me, 'cause
It's you that I've been missing
Hope that you are listening when I say
That you can be the only one, and
What did I say that made you doubt me?
And after that night
When you began to come around me
What could I have done to make you stay?
And not turn away
The wind-shield wipers
Screech me back to consciousness
It seems that it stopped raining
The skies cleared up
The sun starts shining
The thought of you has got me blinded
The radio plays
A story of redemption
Drowns out the leaking tires, and
Hope that you are listening when I say
That you can be the only one, and
What did I say that made you doubt me?
And after that night
When you began to come around me
What could I have done to make you stay?
And not turn away
I wanna be the light
The light in your eyes, they are smiling
I want to be the one who loves you
I got a feeling inside
You know, it makes me feel like dying
'Cause you know I'm always thinking of you
Ba, da-da-da-da-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a
Ba, da-da-da-da-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a
Ba, da-da-da-da-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a
Ba, da-da-da-da-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a
I remember a time looking down that long road
It was you, and me, and mystery
We'd go for a ride, drink a toast to happy endings
But now, the bottle's dry and empty
Now, that you're gone, never to return again
I was here, we had was history
Hope that you are listening when I say
That I have found my only one, and
Nothing I could say would make her doubt me
And every night the sun descends into the ground, and
She's the only one I want to stay
And not turn away
