I Walked Away
Once I was a rebel living in a dream
Breaking young girls hearts I could be so mean
I used to be strung out and lost in a trance
Now I look back at those days like a bad romance
My life is loaded with those dark memories
And still I am haunted by that cold winters breeze
I was causing so much sorrow and pain
Until I found the sun and reached out of the rain
I had to walk away from the man I used to be
Yeah I walked away from a life in misery
Had to clear my clouded heart to see a brighter day
I walked away... yes I walked away
I remember the reverends daughter
Brought up on holy water
Hallelujah such a sweet wild thing
I couldn't stop my desire so I set the woman on fire
Made her promises but my love was a lie
I was loaded when she broke the news: she said
You are the devil that brought me the blues
That woman left me in a wicked state of mind
When I woke up next morning I felt half dead and blind
She had to walk away from the man she didn't need
Ooh she walked away from a love not meant to be
There was something wrong from the start
And she just could not stay
She walked away from me
Ooh... I had to walk away from the man I used to be
I walked away from a life in misery
Had to clean my blackened heart to find a brighter day
I walked away
I had to walk away... Walk away
It seems like only yesterday
Now I'm a better father brother friend and lover
Breaking young girls hearts I could be so mean
I used to be strung out and lost in a trance
Now I look back at those days like a bad romance
My life is loaded with those dark memories
And still I am haunted by that cold winters breeze
I was causing so much sorrow and pain
Until I found the sun and reached out of the rain
I had to walk away from the man I used to be
Yeah I walked away from a life in misery
Had to clear my clouded heart to see a brighter day
I walked away... yes I walked away
I remember the reverends daughter
Brought up on holy water
Hallelujah such a sweet wild thing
I couldn't stop my desire so I set the woman on fire
Made her promises but my love was a lie
I was loaded when she broke the news: she said
You are the devil that brought me the blues
That woman left me in a wicked state of mind
When I woke up next morning I felt half dead and blind
She had to walk away from the man she didn't need
Ooh she walked away from a love not meant to be
There was something wrong from the start
And she just could not stay
She walked away from me
Ooh... I had to walk away from the man I used to be
I walked away from a life in misery
Had to clean my blackened heart to find a brighter day
I walked away
I had to walk away... Walk away
It seems like only yesterday
Now I'm a better father brother friend and lover
