Walk Away
The clocks don't stop when they ought to stop
They tick relentlessly on
Tonight the world is your pastry shop
Too soon, the goodies are gone
How in the world did your hopes get out of hand there?
Time you got up off the ropes
Pet, don't just stand there
Walk away
Walk away
Can't you tell that it's "Reveille" blowing?
Time to turn the boy loose
There are no more excuses to stay
Walk away
Walk away
It's a great little dream you were growing
But the dreams of the night
Can't outdistance the light of day
Nothing lost
Nothing owing
It was bright, it was gay
It was glowing
It was mindless and heedless
And words that are needless to say
Only where was it going?
Only one little slip and it's showing
You walked into his arms
And let come willy-nilly
What may now come through, little girl
Let's see who, little girl
Walk away
Nothing lost
Nothing owing
It was bright, it was gay
It was glowing
It was mindless and heedless
And words that are needless to say
Only where was it going?
Only one little slip and it's showing
You walked into his arms
And let come willy-nilly
What may now come through, little girl
Let's see you, little girl
Walk away
They tick relentlessly on
Tonight the world is your pastry shop
Too soon, the goodies are gone
How in the world did your hopes get out of hand there?
Time you got up off the ropes
Pet, don't just stand there
Walk away
Walk away
Can't you tell that it's "Reveille" blowing?
Time to turn the boy loose
There are no more excuses to stay
Walk away
Walk away
It's a great little dream you were growing
But the dreams of the night
Can't outdistance the light of day
Nothing lost
Nothing owing
It was bright, it was gay
It was glowing
It was mindless and heedless
And words that are needless to say
Only where was it going?
Only one little slip and it's showing
You walked into his arms
And let come willy-nilly
What may now come through, little girl
Let's see who, little girl
Walk away
Nothing lost
Nothing owing
It was bright, it was gay
It was glowing
It was mindless and heedless
And words that are needless to say
Only where was it going?
Only one little slip and it's showing
You walked into his arms
And let come willy-nilly
What may now come through, little girl
Let's see you, little girl
Walk away
