Walkaway

(album: Gary - 1979)

Never gave you any trouble
Don't know what you want with me
Sitting here in my bubble and pretending to be free
Half the time I'm just walking blind
Staring at the sky
Life's a waste, it's just empty shapes
Like those clouds I see roll by

Walkaway, I see her walk away
She never looked back for me
Walkaway, I see her walk away
Forget how it used to be

We sat on the floor that first night
Talked and played guitar
Remembered all the finer tunes
We drank wine from an empty jar
I just want to go down to Mexico
Or someplace I've never seen
I'll just remember the worst and last
And forget everything in between

Walkaway, I see her walk away
She never looked back for me
Walkaway, I see her walk away
Forget how it used to be

Give me one more party
Before it's time to go
Got a lampshade for my head
And a clown suit for my clothes
When she called and told the truth
Don't know why she wanted to lie
But anyway it's all over now
And there's nothing left her besides

Walkaway, I see her walk away
She never looked back for me
Walkaway, I see her walk away
Forget how it used to be
