Walkaway



Watching you walk away
Is a hard thing to do
It seems like only yesterday
That it was me and you

Starving on a wasting dream
The pain as days go by
Living on your memory
I Wish that you had tried

Stranded on a summers breeze
A prisoner of the sky
Gentle winds set my heart at ease
Daring me to fly

Visions on the moon black clouds
Embrace the stars of dawn
Trying hard to forget you now
Before I go sailing on

And it was from yesterday
That tomorrow, keeps the dream alive
For another day, any other way
Trying to survive, your Love

Dreams of the angels
Were brought down to the ground
Dreams in the wishing wells
Forgotten and never found

Dreams on the highway signs
Were lost unto the breeze
Dreams I can't remember now
Are my only memories
