DON'T WALK AWAY

She held me close

Spoke my name

I felt the sun

Melt the rain

As I lay there with her picture

On my shoulder

There in the shadows

There in her room

Under the light of a neon moon

I could feel her memory growing colder

She said, "Once, once we had a purpose

Once, once we had a song

Once the feeling disappears,

it's all gone"

"Don't walk, don't walk, don't walk away"

The last words she heard me say

Don't walk, don't walk away from love

I saw the tears

Move down her face

I saw the love, the love

Gone to waste

And it cut me so deep

And I knew I couldn't keep her forever

Turning the pages

Breaking ties

That faraway Inok

Deep in your eyes

It was over and done

You were on the run

Come the morning

(Chorus)

(Instrumental)

(Chorus)
