I swapped my innocence for pride
|
Crushed the end within my stride
|
Said 'I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaver"
|
I love the sound of you walking away
|
Mascara bleeds a blackened tear
|
And I am cold
|
Yes I'm cold
|
But not as cold as you are
|
I love the sound of you walking away
|
|
Why don't you walk away?
|
No buildings will fall down
|
Why don't you walk away?
|
No quake will split the ground
|
Why don't you walk away?
|
The sun won't swallow the sky
|
Why don't you walk away?
|
Statues will not cry
|
|
I cannot turn to see those eyes
|
As apologies may rise
|
I must be strong and stay an unbeliever
|
And love the sound of you walking away
|
Mascara bleeds into my eye
|
I'm not cold
|
I am old
|
At least as old as you are
|
As you walk away
|
|
And as you walk away
|
My headstone crumbles down
|
As you walk away
|
The Hollywood wind's a howl
|
As you walk away
|
The Kremlin's falling
|
As you walk away
|
Radio 4 is static
|
As you walk away
|
|
The stab of stiletto
|
On a silent night
|
Stalin smiles
|
Hitler laughs
|
Churchill claps
|
Mao Tse-Tung
|
On the back
|
|
