Lyrics to the song “Look Away,” by Allie Nixon

Here are the lyrics to the song Look Away, by Allie Nixon:

oh where have the sympathies gone
now here i am
silenced by the dark

always tried to keep you safe
now you’re scared
underneath the brave

somehow in the back of my mind
i knew that this moment would come
look away, look away, shield your eyes

somehow in the back of my mind
i knew that this moment would come
look away
there’s so little time to guide you home
so little time

oh where have the simple times gone
now here i am
wrapped up in the cold

i always tried to keep a brave face
no matter what i fate
somehow we must hold on

somehow in the back of my mind
i knew that this moment would come
look away, look away, shield your eyes

somehow in the back of my mind
i knew that this moment would come
look away
so little time

and i don’t want
to let you down
i’ll stand by you
even if this light fades away

for the truth is i
have the tears/fears in the back of my mind
we may never make it out
never make it out
make it to the other side

somehow in the back of my mind
i knew that this moment would come
look away
look away
shield your eyes

somehow in the back of my mind
i knew that this moment would come
look away
so little time

somehow in the back of my mind
i knew that this moment would come
look away
look away
shield your eyes

somehow in the back of my mind
i knew that this moment would come
look away
there’s so little time to guide you home
so little time
so little time to guide you home
so little time
so little time to guide you home
