Turn & Forget

I trusted them!
The air was so warm
The night was so cool and then the wine dropped
Then we chose to run away
I never thought I'd go astray

Believe me now!
My friends say to me
We run down the path to get away, quickly
A different side of the city
A little dark and gritty

I say to them!
It's getting so late
They comfort me with their sweet songs
I don't know how I've come this far
The clouds eclipse the stars

We are your friends!
There's no need to fear
We'll come back with you now to your place
They say we could not be apart
For it would break their hearts

Now I see clear
My lesson's learned
Don't trust what you get
If it seems too good to be true
Turn and forget

Our time is short
Don't waste your breath
On raising sunsets
There's nothing left to comfort you
Just pain and regret

We found our way!
Back to my room
My friends all stand and loom around me
Then they joke and laugh
Let's take a photograph

The hours pass!
My eyes are so weak
My head hits the bed no turning back
I say they should stay with me
No one to disagree

Then there was hush!
My head filled with fuzz
The room was a womb, I threw my cares away
I could not stay awake
Sleep was my mistake

Now I see clear
My lesson's learned
Don't trust what you get
If it seems too good to be true
Turn and forget

Our time is short
Don't waste your breath
On raising sunsets
There's nothing left to comfort you
Just pain and regret

The morning glow!
The sun hit the wall
My eyes search the room my senses dull
Have they gone to a cafe
How long have they been away

Where are my things?
My wallet, my phone
The watch that my uncle gave to me
I didn't see deceit
Now my journey's bittersweet

Now I see clear
My lesson's learned
Don't trust what you get
If it seems too good to be true
Turn and forget

Our time is short
Don't waste your breath
On raising sunsets
There's nothing left to comfort you
Just pain and regret

Now I see clear
My lesson's learned
Don't trust what you get
If it seems too good to be true
Turn and forget

They left me here
With nothing but
Passport and ticket
Now onto Nigeria
To seek employment

Yeah, I know... look, I didn't know... it's just
Look, I thought they were really cool... can you?
OK, can you just call the bank, please? OK, thank you
