Smalltown Boy

Paradise Lost

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. 
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 

And 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. 
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. 
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
