Look Away Songtext
von Kate Campbell

I can still recall the night
Lightning burned the mansion down
We all stood in our pajamas
On that hallowed southern ground
When the flames had turned to ashes
Only blackened bricks remained
Sixteen stately doric columns
There beneath a veil of gray

And it′s a long and slow surrender
Retreating from the past
It's important to remember
To fly the flag half mast
And look away


I was taught by elders wiser
Love your neighbor
Love your God
I never saw a cross on fire
Never saw an angry mob
I saw sweet magnolia blossoms
And I chased lightning bugs at night
Never dreaming others saw our way of life
In black and white

And it′s a long and slow surrender
Retreating from the past
It's important to remember
To fly the flag half mast
And look away

Part of me hears voices crying
Part of me can feel their weight
Part of me believes that mansion
Stood for something more than hate

And it's a long and slow surrender
Retreating from the past
It′s important to remember
To fly the flag half mast
And look away

Look away
Look away
