Lyrics Celtic Thunder – Turning Away
Text:
In darkness we do what we can…
In daylight we’re oblivion…
Here…
On the water we have walked
What was fastened we’ve unlocked
Revealing wondrous wild
And in search of confirmation
We have jumped into the fire
And scrambled with our burning feet
Through uncontrolled desire
In darkness we do what we can
In daylight we’re oblivion
Our hearts so raw and clear
Are turning away, turning away from here
There’s a well upon the hill
From our ancient past
Where an age is standing
Still holding strong and fast
And there’s those that try to tame it
And to carve it into stone
Ah but words cannot extinguish it
However hard they’re thrown
In darkness we do what we can
In daylight we’re oblivion
Our hearts so raw and clear
Are turning away, turning away from here
By Loch Etive they have worked
With their highland dreams
By Kilcrennan they have nourished
And in searching for acceptance
They had given it away
Only the children of our children know
The price they had to pay
In darkness we do what we can
In daylight we’re oblivion
Our hearts so raw and clear
Are turning away, turning away from here
In darkness we do what we can
In daylight we’re oblivion
Our hearts so raw and clear
Are turning away, turning away from here
And in darkness we do what we can
In daylight we’re oblivion
Our hearts so raw and clear
Are turning away, turning away from here
Are turning away, turning away from here
