Lyrics

• If you walk away, I'll walk away

• First tell me which road you will take

• I don't want to risk our paths crossing someday

• So you walk that way, I'll walk this way

• And the future hangs over heads

• And it moves with each current event

• Until it falls all around like a cold, steady rain

• Just stay in when it's looking this way

• And the moon's laying low in the sky

• Forcing everything metal to shine

• And the sidewalk holds diamonds like a jewelry store case

• They argue, walk this way, no, walk this way

• And Laura's asleep in my bed

• As I'm leaving, she wakes up and says

• I dreamed you were carried away on the crest of a wave

• Baby, don't go away, come here

• And there's kids playing guns in the street

• And one's pointing his tree branch at me

• And so I put my hands up, I say enough is enough

• If you walk away, I'll walk away

• And he shot me dead

• I found a liquid cure from my landlocked blues

• It would pass the way like a slow parade

• It's leaving, but I don't know how soon

• And the world's got me dizzy again

• You think after twenty-two years I'd be used to the spin

• And it only feels worse when I stay in one place

• So I'm always pacing around or walking away

• I keep drinking the ink from my pen

• And I'm balancing history books up on my head

• But it all boils down to one quotable phrase

• If you love something, give it away

• A good woman will pick you apart

• A box full of suggestions for your possible heart

• But you may be offended, and you may be afraid

• But don't walk away, don't walk away

• We made love on the living room floor

• With the noise in the background from a televised war

• And in that deafening pleasure, I thought I heard someone say

• If we walk away, they walk away

• But greed is a bottomless pit

• And our freedom's a joke, we're just taking a piss

• And the whole world must watch the sad, comic display

• If you're still free, start running away

• Cause we're coming for you

• I've grown tired of holding this pose

• I feel more like a stranger each time I come home

• So I'm making a deal with the devils of faith

• Saying, let me walk away, please

• You'll be free child once you have died

• From the shackles of language and measurable time

• And then we can trade places, play musical grace

• 'Til then walk away, walk away, walk away

• So I'm up at dawn

• Putting on my shoes

• I just want to make a clean escape

• I'm leaving, but I dont know where to

• I know I'm leaving, but I dont know where to
