Shut your eyes my darling
There's nothing you can say
The man in the moon won't fall on you
He doesn't live there anywayYou don't have to be a soldier
To fight in your private war
Let the blood you might see rain down on me
You don't have to fight no moreThere's nothing you can say
There's nothing you can send
There's nothing that can change the facts
Not all the king's menRide upon the stallion
And I'll ride upon your mare
And we'll ride so far and ride so hard
Far away from hereAnd when we look back upon the
It all will become so clear
And the gates will open up for us
And we won't have no more fearsThere's nothing you can say
There's nothing you can send
There's nothing that can change the facts
Not all the king's menLook away, look away
You might be tired and troubled
But not todayAnd when they come down upon you
I won't let them get anything on you
And I'll be there for your man
I know they won't [Incomprehensible]Look away, look away
You might be tired and troubled
But not todayAnd when they come down upon you
I won't let them get anything on you
And will they dream?
All those fears and troubles may look awayWe both were motherless children
They sent us separate way
And the family's seen beat down on you
It mine it was okayI've come to take you back May
To save you from this fate
They won't have any more chance
To treat you in this wayThere's nothing you can say
There's nothing you can send
There's nothing that can change all that
Not all the king's menLook away, look away
You might be tired and troubled
But not todayAnd when they come down upon you
I won't let them get anything on you
And we'll dream away
All those fears and troubles may look away
You might look away
