Don't Turn Away (Reissue Bonus Track)

(album: The Flat Earth - 1984)

I don't know why you're not talking to me
I don't know what went wrong
Two people who had so much together
Really ought to get along, yeah
But something started to change inside of you
And right out of the blue
Two friends with such a lot to give
I don't know where you are
Or what you're going through now
What are we trying to prove?

'Cause when this world's too big to take on your shoulders
Feels like love is in vain
You could break down in my arms babe
But it really hurts when you turn away
And I can take the look you give me, believe me
I know you are in pain
I can take the names you call me
But I can't stand when you turn away
Don't turn away

And I can feel you all around me
But you keep me here in the dark
And each time we try to settle down
Something seems to keep us apart, don't it baby?
You and me, we're on the outside
Pretending we don't care
Too proud to show our feelings
To open up the love you know we could share
Ooh I will always be there

'Cause when this world's too big to take on your shoulders
Feels like love is in vain
You could reach out for my hand babe
But it really hurts when you turn away
And I can take the look you give me, believe me
I know you're in pain
And I can take the names you call me
But I can't stand when you turn away

And when the world's too big to take on your shoulders
Feels like your love is in vain
You could reach out for my hand, child
But it really hurts when you turn away
And I can take the look you give me, believe me
I know you are in pain
I can take the names you call me
I can't stand when you turn away
Don't turn away
