We were born down in a northern townWhere the smoke rolls on the windAnd we promised that we'd would stayThat boyhood promise i'll breakMyself I will never forgiveBut the roads here are darkThey're cold and they're markedWith every fear and secret I keepAnd I've stayed here too longI wish that I was goneDown that unknown streetAnd on the last nightI'll pack a shirt and my tieAnd take only the things that I needI'll put a record onSpin a leaving songAnd take what sleep I can findI'm away old friend, I'm awayI'm away old friend, I'm awayOf the ties that do bindThere's one I'll leave behindSongtexteIt has been the girl of my youthIf she asked it of meI think I'd let these troubles beAnd stay with her for a timeShe'd never ask of such thingsFor she knows that it would bringHeartache somewhere down the lineSo I will say my goodbyesThrough dark English eyesAnd by gone come August timeI'm away my love, I'm awayI'm away my love, I'm awayThere's a travelling bandIt's will has become my commandWho knows where this road will take usheaven knows that it may break usAnd it will be so easy to get lostSo when the band is torn downAnd the barmaid sounds the bellThe bell for closing timeAnd when the lights come back onand the boys are all goneThere'll be some silence for a whileAnd I'll thing of you thenMy first ever friendYou that had a way with wordsAnd I'll think of that girlMy northern dove with curlsAnd hope she found the man that she deservesI'm away in the night, I'm awayI'm away in the night, I'm away Aus Songtexte Mania
