From the recording Truth Came Running
Lyrics
It was the end of a long drive
Too many hours past midnight I forget
But he told me how he felt
And how everybody else
Didn't really understand the words that he'd been trying to say
Said he drifted from the main line
Too many hours in his own time, sigh, regret
So he kept things to himself
Cause now everybody else
Didn’t really understand the pictures he’d been trying to paint
He found it hard to talk about
The way they cut him out
How they bolted down the door
When the truth came running
They just shut their eyes
Like they couldn't bear the score
Like they couldn't take no more
Left him out of sight and out of mind
Drove him on like an outcast
A silent preacher to a deaf, defiant mass
So he kept things to himself
Cause now everybody else
Listens with a mind that's only ever really half engaged
He found it hard to talk about
The way they cut him out
How they bolted down the door
When the truth came running
They just shut their eyes
Like they couldn't bear the score
Like they could not take no more
Left him out of sight and out of mind
They found it hard to talk about
The way they cut him out
How they bolted down the door
When the truth came running
They just shut their eyes
Like they couldn't bear the score,
Like they could not take no more,
Left him out of sight and out of mind
Yeah they left him out of sight and out of mind
