Lyrics

You called me up the other night,
To tell me that you just don't jive,
With the way I've chosen to live my life.
All the years you thought you know me,
Never understanding truly,
What I meant when I said I was free.

Now you keep yourself and family true,
And safe from threatening points of view,
And watch me walk away,
Watch me walk away, Watch me walk away...

I can't say I wasn't hurt and shocked,
To hear about your shock and hurt,
Around those private choices I had made.
But after all the times we'd talked,
and joked, and laughed, and cried, and cursed,

Now you keep yourself and family true,
And safe from threatening points of view,
And watch me walk away,
Watch me walk away, Watch me walk away...

We started out pretty well aligned,
But over time, whether yours or mine,
Our persuasions took us our separate ways.
Me to the left, and you to the right,
You got a new language overnight,

Or, was it I.... who turned the tide.
And where do we go, this time?

Now you keep yourself and family true,
And safe from threatening points of view,
And watch me walk away,
Watch me walk away, Watch me walk away...
