lyrics

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

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

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

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

Sky Void of Stars

A love/hate kind of production. I tried to like several times this massive, effect overloaded arena rock production. But the wall of sound prevents me to follow the core (soul) of the music...so a very personal "less is more" impression remains. Nonetheless Not a bad record at all... rs1972

I love to listen to this during work, it fills me with calmness and I can almost smell the scents of the forest. Beautiful & serene from start to finish. SilverFolfy
