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, you walking away Mascara bleeds a blackened tear, oh And I am cold, yes, I'm cold But not as cold as you are I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away I love the sound of you walking away, walking away, hey hey Why don't you walk away? Why don't you walk away? Why don't you walk away? No buildings will fall down Won'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 Don't you walk away Why don't you walk away? Why don't you walk away? Why don't you walk away? Hey mmmmm 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, you walking away Mascara bleeds into my eye, oh And I'm not cold, I am old At least as old as you are I hear the sound of you walking away,you walking away I hear the sound of you walking away, walking away hey hey And as you walk away Oh, as you walk away And as you walk away My headstone crumbles down As you walk away The Hollywood winds will howl As you walk away The Kremlin's falling As you walk away Radio Four is static As you walk away Oh, as you walk away Oh, as you walk away Oh, as you walk away Hey The stab of stiletto On a silent night Stalin smiles and Hitler laughs Churchill claps Mao Zedong on the back
