The Long Yard Home lyrics - track 03

When Love Walks Away

What did you think when she said she’d go - did you shrug as though you already know
Or shout and let your anger grow - slam the door raw emotions on show
Was it that other guy who drew her away - or late nights at work day after day
Her suspicions of some other lady in play - or just that love had drifted away
What do you say when love goes away - how grey the day when love walks away
Nothing to do - nothing to say - when love walks away
Nothing to do - nothing to say - when love walks away
Nothing to say - when love walks away
She still fills the room with her smell her touch
But all that love for her didn’t seem to mean much
Her voice still echoes in the empty quiet - but when you whisper her name all is silent
Let her go don’t shed a tear - in the end she didn’t want you near  
Better its clear - instead of pain dragged on through years - set it in the past
A love that didn’t last - move on fast                        

What do you say when love goes away - how grey the day when love walks away
Nothing to do - nothing to say - when love walks away
Nothing to do - nothing to say - when love walks away
Nothing to say - when love walks away
