Angel Eyes movie - Turning Away lyrics

Song by Mary Black<br /><br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>

In darkness we do what we can<br>

In daylight we're oblivion<br>

Our hearts so raw and clear<br>

Are turning away, turning away from here<br>

<br>

On water we have walked like the fearless child<br>

What was fastened we've unlocked revealing wondrous wild<br>

And in search for confirmation<br>

We have jumped into the fire<br>

And scrambled with our burning feet through uncontrolled desire<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>

There's a well upon the hill from our ancient past<br>

Where an age is standing still holding strong and fast<br>

And there's those that try to tame it<br>

And the carve it into stone<br>

Ah but words cannot extinguish it<br>

However hard they're thrown<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>

On Racherie they have worked with their island dreams<br>

By Lough Cleggan they have nourished in the mountain streams<br>

And in searching for acceptance<br>

They have given it away<br>

Only the children of our children<br>

Know the price they had to pay<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>
