ON THE TURNING AWAY
"A Momentary Lapse of Reason"
TAB
On the turning away from the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say which we won't understand
"Don't accept that what's happening is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in the turning away"
G
It's a sin that some how
C Em D G5 G C
Light is changing to shadow, and casting its shroud over all we have known
Em C G Em G C
Unaware how the ranks have grown, driven on by a heart of stone,
G C Em D G5 G Em D
we could find that we're all alone in the dream of the proud on the wings of
G C Em D G
the night As the day time is stirring, where the speechless unite in a
C Em C G Em G
silent accord, using words you will find as strange, mesmerized as they light
C G C Em D G
the flame, Feel the new wind of change on the wings of the night
