On the Turning Away

Pink Floyd

   Emi    D         G            C             Emi
1. On the turning a way from the pale and down trodden
          D           G            C
   And the words they say which we won’t understand
   Emi                      C     G
   Don’t accept that what’s happe ning
   Emi                        G     C
   Is just a case of all the suffe ring
   G                          C       Emi
   Or you’ll find that you’re joining in
       D         G
   The turning a way
   
2. It's a sin that somehow, light is changing to shadow
   And casting it’ shroud over all we have know
   Unaware how the ranks have grown
   Driven on by a heart of stone
   We could find that we’re all alone
   In the dream of the proud
   
3. On the wings of the night as the daytime is stirring
   Where the speechless unite in a silent accord
   Using words you will find are strange
   And mesmerised as they light the flame
   Feel the new wind of change
   On the wings of the night
   
4. No more turning away From the weak and the weary
   No more turning away From the coldness inside
   Just a world that we all must share
   It's not enough just to stand and stare
   Is it only a dream that there'll be
   No more turning away
