Housecatnick of Rusty Monks collaborates with Al Reynolds of Jivestock to record and perform "Turn Away".

lyrics

Just a quiet man looking for his dinner
Bible in his hand but he don’t read
People pass him by but they never considered
To lend a helping hand in his time of need
Eyes will meet
No one wants to say a word
His cry’s discreet
Noone knows what the heard
As they turn away
Turn away

Another single mother tryin to get her day started
Sunrise to sunset she pays her dues
Counts all her ways her hearts been discarded
By the man who left her black and blue
The lies she tells
To herself and whoever knows
Her eyes they tell
She’s scared to be alone
As we turn away
Turn away

Got ourselves so numb we can’t find a solution
Everyday it’s the same script to life
Got to clear our minds to see through the illusion
We keep playing our parts in the blinds
Try to see these
tapestries and vignettes
And I can see
How easy it is to forget
As we turn away
Turn Away

Just a lonely man looking for some comfort
Bottle in his hand his only friend
