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
