Galt MacDermot
Away From Today
I hit the ground running
Running all the way from sin
She stole my heart faster
Than the bullet that I put in him
She took the case and I grabbed the wheels
She taught me to fend and taught me to steal away

My hands are shaking my knees are weak
The rush I crave the long you seek away

Away, away from today
Away from today
Away from today

I open my eyes and roll to my side
And the surprise of the morning sun
She took to the road and left me alone
Before a heartbeat begun
So I drove through the night
And chased it to light
The hunt lasted days I thought I'd lost my way
But there she lay

Now my hands are stained
My tears are black
Watch me as I turn my back and go

Away

Away from today
Away from today
Away from today

Away from today
Away from today
Away from today
