David woke up with a headache to fight
Couldn't remember the previous night too well,
Drowning he fell.
Twenty nine years from the date of his birth
With nothing to show but a folio worth a lot,
The fine things he bought.
And David's learning not to feel
Without a friend to help him heal
This time
Why don't you just walk away
This time
Why don't you just walk away
You live your life
While heroes cry, cry.
Sandy got married while still in her teens
To a moneyed man who'd make her dreams come true
(lie number two)
She wants to believe that she made the right choice
But sometimes she finds that she's listening to the voice inside
So long denied
Now every day is harder still
With endless empty hours to fill
This time
Why don't you just walk away
This time
Why don't you just walk away
You live your life
While heroes cry, cry
David makes his whole world pay
And Sandy waits through one more day
This time
Why don't you just walk away
This time
Why don't you just walk away
You live your life
While heroes cry,
Why don't you just walk away
This time
Why don't you just walk away
You live your life
While heroes cry,
Why don't you just walk away
This time
Why don't you just walk away
You live your life...
