Turn Away

James Taylor

i open my arms to hold you

you turn away you turn away

i feel it just like i told you

how can you turn away

the things that we said last saturday night

you turn away you turn away

now you want to throw that away

how can you turn away

bridge

it was true love it was you and me

and the sliver moon and the shining sea]

it was new but it felt to me

just like love was suppsosed to be

finally

and now your eyes won't meet mine

you turn away you turn away

i never want to taste that sweet wine again

how can you turn away

bridge

and after this love i'm keeping for you

you turn away you turn away

i never want to taste that sweet wine again

how can you turn away

bridge

and after this love i'm keeping for you

you turn away you turn away

i'll dry these tears that i'm weeping for you

and take my turn to turn away yeah
