Inspired by the poem Pietas by the very talented Melisande.

VERSE 1
On the top of the hills sits the sullen sky
The sun is out but you ask me why
The world feels so cold.
As we think of friends from days gone by
And to them we raise our glasses high
Cos they were right all along.

VERSE 2
Shut the door and keep it down
To me it was just another row
but then you turned and cried
Years of grudges were all we found
You said "I'll pack my bags and leave this town"
And so you turned around
And stepped out that door

CHORUS
When you turn away
That everpleasant breeze stops and slows down
When you turn away
The landscape freezes up and it's cold now
When you turn away
The stars go out of line and Hope betrays my mind like the last leaf on the vine
So turn this way, turn this way again.

VERSE 3
Tried to smile as you stood at the door
and said: "No more fighting anymore"
But I said "Don't go"
Don't turn round or face away
I'd miss you every single night and day
So please won't you face this way

CHORUS

BRIDGE
When they told you:
Not to tie the knot it's not worth the pain.
Don't try to sulk instead just go insane
To stay as friends, cos love is so misleading
There's nothing good in feeling
But they don't know what it's like when you face my way

CHORUS
