Lyrics
Shut your eyes, my darling
There's nothing you can say
The man in the moon won't fall on you
He doesn't live there anyway
You don't have to be a soldier
To fight in your private war
Let the blood you might see rain down on me
You don't have to fight no more
There's nothing you could say
There's nothing you could send
There's nothing that could change the facts
Not all the king's men
You'll ride upon the stallion
And I'll ride upon your mare
We'll ride so far, ride so hard
Far away from here
And when we look back upon them
It all will become so clear
And the gates will open up for us
And we won't have no more fears
There's nothing you could say
There's nothing you could send
There's nothing that could change the facts
Not all the king's men
Look away, look away
You might be tired and troubled but not today
And when they come down upon you
I won't let them get anything on you
And I'll be there for you, babe
Oh, no they won't
Look away, look away
You might be tired and troubled but not today
And when they come down upon you
I won't let them get anything on you
And we'll dance away
All those fears and troubles
We look away
We both were motherless children
They sent us separate ways
And the family you'd seen beat down on you
And mine it was okay
I've come to take you back, May
Save you from this fate
They won't have any more chances
To treat you this way
There's nothing you could say
There's nothing you could send
There's nothing that could change all that
Not all the king's men
Look away, look away
You might be tired and troubled but not today
And when they come down upon you
I won't let them get anything on you
And we'll dream away
All those fears and troubles
We look away
