Lyrics
WALK AWAY
Run away and don't look back now
I had a girl, she was my world
I thought about the years ahead with her
She was wild every day
I did my best to make her feel that way
But she was blowing hot and cool
seemed to think I?m sick of this fool
?Til one night she sat me down
And said ?I?m sorry I?m leaving now?
Well I was kind of blown to bits
Like a rocket ship that took too many hits
I was feeling like a clown who fell face down in a hostile crowd
I fell down through the cracks of love
I fell down through the cracks of love
I fell down through the cracks of love
And I can?t quite see the sky above
A heart broke man is a one man band
He?s got nothing in his head and nothing in his hands
Its holy ghost time, time to do what you do do best, forget the rest yeah
Everybody?s got cruel love lesions
You feel them burn hot now that she?s leaving
Everybody?s got soul confusion
Harder to fix than room temp fusion
Hey Jack, don?t look back
On the heart plowed fields where you broke your back yeah
Move on there ain?t no balm to make you calm
When you been done wrong
Its okay if you walk away
Its okay if you walk away
Its okay if you walk away
Or you?ll die like a snowman caught in a heat ray
I had a girl, she was my world
I thought about the years ahead with her
But she?s gone and life moves on
The sun still shines and the rain still falls
The wind is blowing hot and cool and I know that I?m no fool
Think I?ll just quietly walk away
Deal me in, its time to play?
Run away don?t look back now
It?s a good track now
Run as hard as you can
