When You Walk Away Songtext
von Vaughn

Here by your side,
The candle flickering,
The t.v.′s still on,
But you're not listening,
So I reach for your hand,
And the smile that brings,
A whisper,
Asking me to sing Oh,
when you walk away,
Oh darling, when you walk away,
Don′t turn around to me,
'Cause I don't want you to see,
Me this way
Tremble at first,
My voice it comes so hard,
I don′t want you to see,
Me come apart,
And then it all opens up,
When you show me your heart,
Rising up, To push away the dark


Oh, when you walk away,
Oh darling, when you walk away,
Don′t turn around to me,
Cause I don't want you to see,
Me this way All the things I feel inside,
All the anger that is mine,
What a tearful lullaby,
But you brush those tears aside,
How can one that′s laid so low,
Lift me up so high? Where do I go,
To try and put things right?
And if I tear out my heart,
Will the stars ignite?
And to whom do I rage,
Against the dying of the light?
On this a long day's journey,
Into night
Oh, when you walk away,
Oh darling, when you walk away,
Don′t turn around to me,
Cause I don't want you to see,
Me this way
Somewhere I′m told,
There is a world of grace,
That will take those hard lines,
From your face, But until that day comes,
I'll be right here in my place Just a man,
Just a kiss,
Just in case
