On The Turning Away Lyrics - A Momentary Lapse Of Reason - Pink Floyd

On the turning away 

From the pale and downtrodden 

And the words they say 

Which we won't understand 

Don't accept that what's happening 

Is just a case of others' suffering 

Or you'll find that you're joining 

In the turning away 

It's a sin that somehow 

Light is changing to shadow

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

And casting its shroud 

Over all we have known 

Unaware how the ranks have grown 

Driven on by a heart of stone 

We could find that we're all alone 

In the dream of the proud 

On the wings of the night 

As the daytime is stirring 

Where the speechless unite in a silent accord 

Using words you will find are strange 

Mesmerised as they light the flame 

Feel the new wind of change 

On the wings of the night 

No more turning away 

From the weak and the weary 

No more turning away 

From the coldness inside 

Just a world that we all must share 

It's not enough just to stand and stare 

Is it only a dream that there'll be 

No more turning away
