1. Shut your eyes my darlin', 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.
R: There's nothing you can say,
There's nothing you can send.
There's nothing that can change the facts
Not all the king's men.
2. You'll ride upon the stallion, I'll ride upon your mare.
We'll ride so far, ride so hard, far away from here.
When we look back upon them, it all will become so clear.
The gates will open up for us, we won't have no more fears.
R:
Look away, look away.
You might be tired and troubled but not today.
When they came down upon you,
I won't let them get anything on you,
And we'll dream away,
All those fears and troubles May, look away.
3. We were both motherless children, they sent us separate ways,
The family you'd seen beat down on you, 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 in this way.
R: (2x)
