Intro : (2x)
I swapped my i nnocence for pride
Crushed t he end within my stride
Said I'm st rong now I know that I'm a l eaver
I love the sound of you walking aw ay
Mascara bl eeds a blackened tea r
And I am col d
Yes, I'm col d
But not as cold as you are
I love the sound of you walking aw ay
I love the sound of you walking aw ay
Why don't you walk away ?
Why don't you walk away ?
Wh y 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 s ky
Why don't you walk away ?
St atues will not cry
Why don't you walk away ?
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 ?
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 Four 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
