So I just picked up this album Saturday before last. It's got the standard ones we've heard: Nights on Broadway, Jive Talkin', Fanny (Be Tender with my Love). I'm really liking Songbird, Wind of Change, and this song, Baby As You Turn Away. The other songs on the album I haven't listened to much yet.

This song just really hits the spot. It's just a little extreme on a few ends, but that's expected with the usual sentimental "love song."

Baby, this is just your way..

I dig it.

Here, am I
one sad and lonely guy
one shadow of the man I used to be

Now, it's past
the love I thought would last
You thought I had you chained and now you're free

I know it's wrong
but I'm still holdin' on
Still praying you will soon come back to me

But then you go
you let your feelings show
You said I gave you pain, and now I see

"Now I see" 'I was blind but now I see' [step into freedom]

Baby as you turn away
I will always think of what we had together
Baby this is just your way..
of breaking my heart

I love this part. Although "always think of what we had together" is kinda funny :p

"whadd arrrr ya gunna duuu?" "what are you waiting for?" [step into freedom]

And it's easier to say goodbye
making me fall, making me try
try to make you stay
as you turn away

Now you're gone
this road I walk upon
is just another place where I can hide

I'm still your man
as proof of who I am
except without your love.. I'm dead inside

"I'm dead inside"? no no I don't think so :-p

Baby as you turn away
I will always think of what we had together
Baby this is just your way..
of breaking my heart

Just your way.

And it's easier to say goodbye
making me fall, watching me try
try to make you stay
as you turn away


Baby as you turn away
I will always think of what we had together
Baby this is just your way..
of breaking my heart
And it's easier to say goodbye
making me fall, watching me try
try to make you stay
as you turn away
baby as you turn... away
la la la ooo ooo

And now in this season, you can invite everyone, especially those who might invite you to incite you, you can tell them to

Step into Freedom.
