The ballad of a lost soul
Look away, look away, look away
from the corner of my eye
See the twinkling of the firelight
bring a color to my hands
As the fire keeps a burning
like the only love I've known
It's wings I'll clip tomorrow
send it running off back home
For when you kiss the morning
I'll be heading down the coast
to the backstreets where I started
I've a dealings with a ghost
and I've looked for love between us
but we're running out of sand
and time will wait for no-one
It's never what we planned
Look away, look away, look away
In the nighttime I'll be gone
There'll be days you won't remember
and days you can't forget
For when you kiss the morning
I'll be heading down the coast
to the backstreets where I started
I've a dealings with a ghost
And I've looked for love between us
even though it's turning cold
Look away, look away, look away
Look away, look away, look away
Can you hear the night-bird's song?
Don't be blinded by the firelight
it's been burning way too long
And the embers will keep on glowing
like the only love I've known
Well it's wings I'll clip tomorrow
send it running off back home
For when you kiss the morning
I'll be way on down the coast
to the backstreets where I started
I've a dealings with a ghost
And I've looked for love between us
even though it's turning cold
So look away, look away,
look away, look away
