Look Away - Memoir

The only soul I’m ever gonna have is on the bottom of these old pair of boots I

got.

The only time I ever saw the light was on the coldest night when I was getting

questioned by the law.

Forgive me father, take me to water, I’m so ashamed of what I’ve done.

When the time has come for my soul to take, I confess my sins it will be too

late.

Look away, look away, look away oh God.

When the truth ain’t said, but the lie is told, when the water runs red from

this knife I hold.

Look away, look away, look away oh God.

The only peace I’m ever gonna have is at the bottom of a bottle lay me down on

the floor.

I’m only awake right when I wake up in the morning but the devils knocking on

my door.

Oh, forgive me father, let me cross over, I can not change what I’ve done.

When the time has come for my soul to take, if I confess my sins it will be too

late.

Look away, look away, look away oh God.

When the truth ain’t said, but the lie is told, when the water runs red from

this knife I hold.

Look away, look away, look away oh God.

Look away, Father, look away, forgive me God.

Turn your back, Father, I can’t change, forgive me not.

Can I start over, breathing gets harder, I’m so afraid of dying.

I’m getting closer, it’s getting darker, why don’t I see the light.

When the time has come for my soul to take, if I confess my sins it will be too

late.

Look away, look away, look away oh God.

When the truth ain’t said but the lie is told, when the water runs red from

this knife I hold.

Look away, look away, look away oh God.

When the time has come for my soul to take, if I confess my sins it will be too

late.

Look away, look away, look away oh God.

When the truth ain’t said but the lie is told, when the water runs red from

this knife I hold.

Look away, look away, look away oh God.
