Lyrics Turning Away - Mary Black

Turning Away

In darkness we do what we can
In daylight we’re oblivion
Our hearts so raw and clear
Are turning away, turning away from here
On water we have walked like the fearless child
What was fastened we’ve unlocked revealing wondrous wild
And in search for confirmation
We have jumped into the fire
And scrambled with our burning feet through uncontrolled desire
Chorus
There’s a well upon the hill from our ancient past
Where an age is standing still holding strong and fast
And there’s those that try to tame it And the carve it into stone
Ah but words cannot extinguish it However hard they’re thrown
Chorus
On Racherie they have worked with their island dreams
By Lough Cleggan they have nourished in the mountain streams
And in searching for acceptance
They have given it away
Only the children of our children
Know the price they had to pay
Chorus
