Small Town Boy (Bronski Beat's cover) Lyrics

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 faceMother 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 homeRun away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run awayPushed around and kicked around
Always a lonely boy
You were the one
That they'd talk about around town
As they put you downAnd 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 soulRun away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run awayCry, boy, cry
Cry, boy
Cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy
Cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy
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 faceRun away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
