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
