| Crush 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 |
| Why don'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 |
| Why don't you walk away ? |
| Why don't you walk away ? |
| Why don't you walk away ? |
| Why don't you walk away, hey |
| Ohh… |
| |
| 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 |
| 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 have howled |
| As you walk away the Kremlins' falling |
| Oh as you walk away radio 4 is static |
| As you walk away |
| Oh as you walk away |
| Oh as you walk away |
| Oh as you walk away |
| Hey, uh huh |
| Uh huh |
| |
| The stab of stiletto on a silent night |
| Stalin smiles and Hitler laughs |
| Churchill claps Mao Tse-Tung on the back |
