Walk Away
LYRICS...
When I walk away
I notice
That the streets won't stay
In focus

And then
When I turn my head I'm listening
As the pictures slowly shifting
Back again
When I walk away
When I walk away
I walk away
Walk away
Walk away

In the special room...
And someone almost there...
And now the rain is gone...
And the air is clear
In the waking warm
And on the shimmer shore
And in the gilded Fall
Just like the times before
And things get so displaced
When I walk away
When I walk away
I walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Oh, walk away
Walk away
Walk away

Oh in the dawn adrift... (adrift)
And through the howling dark... (howling dark)
With such a tender step... (tender step)
Ah with such a crowded heart... (crowded heart)
And I'll be someone else... (someone else)
Oh I'll be the passing man... (passing man)
I'll be the voice in sleep... (voice in sleep)
I'll be the waving hand... (waving hand)
But something always stays
When I walk away
When I walk away
I walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Oh, walk away
Walk away
Walk away

NOTES...
"The impossibility of leaving someone. You leave your shadow behind. In certain rooms you begin to notice someone almost there. Something always stays. You can never forget."
