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
