About This Track

'Turn' by New Order is a 2005 track from the album 'Waiting for the Sirens’ Call'. The lyrics place a narrator in a moment of collapse and pleading, with homecoming described as a hard route and time stretching from days into months and years. There is a sense of obsessive presence, as if someone remains felt everywhere, even in a corner, alongside an urgent instruction to “Turn your eyes from me”. The refrain of reversal, turning away and turning forward, gives the words a strained, urgent shape.

"Turn" is a track by New Order, from the album Waiting for the Sirens’ Call, released 27th March 2005. The track is 4:34 long. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 19 articles about New Order.

Lyrics

Turn

It's a hard way to come home
You've got me on my knees
The walls are tumbling down
They're falling like the leaves

The days turned into months and years
I can't forget that you were here
I feel your presence everywhere
In the corner over there

Turn your eyes from me
It's time for me to go
Across the hills and over the sea
I want you more than you know

It's a wild world out there
And nobody gives a damn
In cold blood we don't care
And we don't want to understand

I'm sitting here alone at night
My sleepless eyes are open wide
What do you want me to say
What we had has gone away

The sky is high the road is long
Show me what I should have done
What do you want me to do
Take it all away from you

Turn your eyes from me
It's time for me to go
Across the hills and over the sea
I want you more than you know

Turn your eyes from me
It's time for me to go
Across the hills and over the sea
I want you more than you know
