A soul full of anger but nothing to show
A world wrapped in cotton but nowhere to go
Obsessed by a woman that you didn't know
Don't turn around, don't turn around

Torn between lovers, both mothers as well
A mind a prison, a heart in a cell
If only the screams could be heard from this hell
Don't turn around, don't turn around

You were surprised by a girl in the sky
Who changed everyone
And as your life became so mystified
There was a lonely heart left by the side

Tomorrow could never be just one more day
Confused by an image refusing to stay
The child in your mind always wanted its way
Don't turn around, don't turn around

Then on a day in your life
Still remembered by everyone
There was a man with a gun at his side
You and your monkey had nowhere to hide

He was the man that was sent from the rye
Don't turn around, don't turn around

So many things on his mind
I'm not sure if he knew why he blew you away
I can't decide if it's true
What he thought on that day

Don't be afraid when the day turns to night
Don't be ashamed when I turn out the lights
Call out my name and I'd hold you so tight
Don't turn around, don't turn around

Don't be afraid when the day turns to night
Don't be ashamed when I turn out the lights
Call out my name and I'd hold you so tight
Don't turn around, don't turn around

Don't be afraid when the day turns to night
Don't be ashamed when I turn out the lights
Call out my name and I'd hold you so tight
Don't turn around, don't turn around
