You Walked Away Lyrics

Of all the ways to leave a lover
we chose the worst one, I bet
No chance to hide or run for cover
assassinated instead

Taking the wrong turn, we're too far gone
now that our blue turns to grey
I brought the strings and you played a last song
then I took the train the next day

When you called me on the phone
said you gotta be on your own
but I still thought I'd be coming home

We went for a walk in the evening twilight
Just like we did it before
Making plans for a future so bright
unwary on that score

Waiting for hours at the railway station
lighting a candle for you
But while listening to your explanation
I realize that we're through

The two dragons on the wall have gone
the heart-shaped picture that he'd drawn
Back in the wasteland of a dawn

So long ago in Kernow on a full moon's night
A promise made under the silver starlight...
