Lyrics Not Turn Away - The Revivalists

Not Turn Away

All I can see are blurs of red and yellow
Through the raindrops on my windshield
Nothing is clear to me but it seems nobody’s moving
Is it an accident or just me nowhere to go
I hope that you will follow me ‘cause
It’s you that I’ve been missing
I hope that you were listening
When I said that you could be the only one
And what did I say to make you doubt me
And after that night
When you began to come around
What could I have done to make you stay
Not turn away
The windshield wipers screech me back to consciousness
It seems that it’s stopped raining
The sky has cleared up the southern stars are shining
The thought of you has got me blinded
The radio plays a story of redemption
Drowns out the leaking tire’s hissing
I hope that you were listening when I said
That you could be the only one
What did I say to make you doubt me
And after that night
When you began to come around
What could I have done to make you stay
Not turn away
I want to be the light the light in your eyes every smile and
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
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
Everything we had was history
Hope that you are listening when I say
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
