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.
