Walk Away Renee
Rickie Lee Jones · Other Songs - Rickie Lee Jones
And when I see the sign that, points one way
The lot we used to pass by, everyday, yeah
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
You're not to blame
From deep inside the tears that, I'm forced to cry
From deep inside the pain I, I chose to hide
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Now as the rain beats down, upon my weary eyes
For me it cries
Your name and mine inside a heart, upon a wall
Still finds a way to haunt me, even though they're so small
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Now as the rain beats down, upon my weary eyes
For me it cries
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
You're not to blame
The lot we used to pass by, everyday, yeah
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
You're not to blame
From deep inside the tears that, I'm forced to cry
From deep inside the pain I, I chose to hide
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Now as the rain beats down, upon my weary eyes
For me it cries
Your name and mine inside a heart, upon a wall
Still finds a way to haunt me, even though they're so small
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Now as the rain beats down, upon my weary eyes
For me it cries
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
You're not to blame
