Not Turn Away - The Revivalists

All I can see are blurs of red and yellow

Through the raindrops on my windshield

Nothing is clear to me but it seems nobody’s moving

Is it an accident or just me nowhere to go

I hope that you will follow me ‘cause

It’s you that I’ve been missing

I hope that you were listening

When I said that you could be the only one

And what did I say to make you doubt me

And after that night

When you began to come around

What could I have done to make you stay

Not turn away

The windshield wipers screech me back to consciousness

It seems that it’s stopped raining

The sky has cleared up the southern stars are shining

The thought of you has got me blinded

The radio plays a story of redemption

Drowns out the leaking tire’s hissing

I hope that you were listening when I said

That you could be the only one

What did I say to make you doubt me

And after that night

When you began to come around

What could I have done to make you stay

Not turn away

I want to be the light the light in your eyes every smile and

I want to be the one who loves you

I got a feeling inside you know it makes me feel like dying

‘cause you know I’m always thinking of you

I remember a time looking down that long road

It was you and me and mystery

We’d go for a ride drink a toast to happy endings

But now the bottle’s dry and empty

Now that you’re gone never to return again

Everything we had was history

Hope that you are listening when I say

I have found my only one and

Nothing I could say would make her doubt me

And every night the sun descends into the ground and

She’s the only one I want to stay

And not turn away
