You leave in the morning
   With everything you own
   In a little black case
   Alone on a platform
   The wind and the rain
   On a sad and lonely face
  
   Mother will never understand
   Why you had to leave
   But the answers you seek
   Will never be found at home
   The love that you need
   Will never be found at home
  
   Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
   Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
  
   Pushed around and kicked around
   Always a lonely boy
   You were the one
   That they'd talk about around town
   As they put you down
  
   And as hard as they would try
   They'd hurt to make you cry
   But you never cried to them
   Just to your soul
   No you never cried to them
   Just to your soul
  
   Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
   Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
  
   Cry , boy, cry...
  
   You leave in the morning
   With everything you own
   In a little black case
   Alone on a platform
   The wind and the rain
   On a sad and lonely face
  
   Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
   Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
