Turning Away

Am    Dm7

[Chorus]
   Am
In darkness we do what we can
   Dm7             G
In daylight we're oblivion
    Am
Our hearts so raw and clear
    Dm7           G                Am
Are turning away, turning away from here

[Verse]
N.C. Am                                        G
On   water we have walked like the fearless child
         F                                   G        Am
What was fastened, we've unlocked, revealing wondrous wild
                                                       G
And in search of confirmation, we have jumped into the fire
    F                                        G            Am
And scrambled with our burning feet, through uncontrolled desire

[Chorus]
N.C.   Am
And in darkness we do what we can
   F               G
In daylight we're oblivion
    Am
Our hearts so raw and clear
    F             G                Am
Are turning away, turning away from here

[Verse]
N.C.      Am                                  G
There's a well upon the hill from our ancient past
         F                              G          Am
Where an age is standing still, holding strong and fast
                                                           G
And there's those that try to tame it and to carve it into stone
        F                              G                 Am
Ah, but words cannot extinguish it, however hard they're thrown

[Chorus]
N.C.   Am
And in darkness we do what we can
   F               G
In daylight we're oblivion
    Am
Our hearts so raw and clear
    F             G                Am
Are turning away, turning away from here

[Instrumental]
Am     G  Am

[Verse]
N.C. Am                                          G
On   Racherie they have worked with their island dreams
         F                              G        Am
By Lough Cleggan they have nourished in mountain streams
                                                   G
And in searching for acceptance they had given it away
         F                                   G                 Am
Only the children of their children know the price they had to pay

[Chorus]
N.C. Am
In   darkness we do what we can
   F               G
In daylight we're oblivion
    Am
Our hearts so raw and clear
    F             G                Am
Are turning away, turning away from here

[Chorus]
N.C.   Am
And in darkness we do what we can
   F               G
In daylight we're oblivion
    Am
Our hearts so raw and clear
    F             G                Am
Are turning away, turning away from here
