Name: Turn and Walk Away
Duration: P00H04M38S
Description: This is a song that I wrote a long time ago. The first recording of it was done around 1990. I was never really comfortable with the music that I had written for it, so it has stayed on the shelf all these years. Recently, when I was looking for material for this album, I decided that I still liked the story line, so I totally re-wrote the music, the lyrics and the song structure.

This is a song that I wrote a long time ago. The first recording of it was done around 1990. I was never really comfortable with the music that I had written for it, so it has stayed on the shelf all these years. Recently, when I was looking for material for this album, I decided that I still liked the story line, so I totally re-wrote the music, the lyrics and the song structure.

lyrics

LYRICS to the song:

There comes a point where anyone must stop and make a stand
when anger makes your reason fade away.
Ya know I’ve heard my own voice saying things I never would have said,
but I knew that it couldn’t wait another day
If I’m backed into a corner no one is my friend
I might want to say “I love you” , but I tell you “..it’s the end”.
and then I Turn and Walk Away I turn and walk a - way…

CHORUS: I turn and walk a - way… Turn and walk a - way…
Turn and walk a - way… Turn and walk a - way…
I turn and walk a - way…

I can feel our future beckoning but my past is with me too …
and I’m scared ‘cuz I just don’t know what to do
probably turn my back on any chance of spending time with you
cuz what I need is time to think things through.
I try to tell you what I’m feeling, but my logic sounds insane
I see a tear welling in your eye and I know that I’m to blame.
but yet I Turn and Walk Away

CHORUS:
(Guitar Solo)
CHORUS:

I never once considered the way that I would feel
once you agreed with me that day…
When I told you that I needed to be FREE to live my life
I never thought you’d think it was OK
But when I looked into your eyes, I knew what you would say
“The First Rule of Freedom is that everyone can play”.
and then YOU Turned and Walked Away
you Turned and Walked Away

CHORUS:
