don't walk away eileen

sam roberts

don't walk away eileen!

i've been living for you since the age of seventeen

don't walk away eileen!

you've been telling lies and now it's time to come clean

hey! you come around and i

hey! you come around and i

hey! you come around and i can't keep time

hey! you turn around and i

hey! you turn around and i

hey! you turn around and i'm left behind

eileen says i'm a boy

not a man

crying on the corner with my head and my hands

i called her name and she ran

slipping through my fingers like a fist full of sand

hey! you come around and i

hey! you come around and i

hey! you come around and i lose my head

hey! you turn around and i

hey! you turn around and i

hey! you turn around and i'm left for dead

and she reads my mind when i'm sleeping

and she always arrives when i'm leaving

yeah

she's blocking out the sun it seems

you're a pacifist with a gun

eileen

hey! you come around and i

hey! you come around and i

hey! you come around and i can't keep time

hey! you turn around and i

hey! you turn around and i

hey! you turn around and i'm left behind

hey! you come around and i

hey! you come around and i

hey! you come around and i lose my head

hey! you turn around and i

hey! you turn around and i

hey! you turn around and i'm left for dead

don't walk away eileen!

don't walk away eileen!

don't walk away eileen!
