Face The Other Way

Why is it such a great big deal

For me to tell you how I feel?

I turn my face and walk away

Hold back the words I need to say

You say to me just tell the truth

I know I should agree

I guess I could tell you the truth

But then you’d have to kill me

I’ve no way of knowing

If you’re going to stay

But if you’re gonna walk towards me

Could you face the other way?

Some tell it on the mountain top

And preach against my crime

But I’d do it all again

And face the fire next time

I’ve no way of knowing

If you’re going to stay

But if you’re gonna walk towards me

Could you face the other way?

I hear you shooting from the lip

You tell me it’s absurd

To think the man with double vision rules

In the kingdom of the blurred

One day I’ll make a raid upon

The sentries of your heart

But if I could only talk with you

That would be a start

I’ve no way of knowing

If you’re going to stay

But if you’re gonna walk towards me

Could you face the other way?

Just face the other way

Please face the other way
