Sam Roberts Lyrics
"Don't Walk Away Eileen"

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 lame 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!
