Oh my dear, at last I understand
Finally its all too clear
It’s no surprise now, the gladness in your eyes as they meet mine
Belies the tears
I would dry them till they sparkle once a gain
You are my dearest friend
Oh what can I say, all I can do is walk away
There’s nothing more that I can say
Oh I’m lovely one, too well we know what is begun
Cannot be undone
There is no shame, nobody to blame in this cruellest of games
Keeping you on the run
I have longed for such a love to come around
But now I’m crippled and I’m bound
Oh what can I say……
What can I do
Your pain is like a knife in my heart turning
Tearing me apart
Is love so unkind
To fill our eyes with light only to strike us blind
I stumble in the dark, my hands and knees are raw
I wish I could give you more
Oh what can I say……..
All I can do is walk away
All I can do is walk away
All I can do
