Dead Man Walking movie - Walk Away lyrics

rate me

Song by Tom Waits<br /><br>

Dot King was whittled from the bone of Cain<br>

with a little drop of poison in the red, red blood<br>

She need a way to turn around the bend<br>

She said I want to walk away and start over again.<br>

<br>

There are things I've done I can't erase<br>

I want to look in the mirror, see another face<br>

I said never would I do it again<br>

I want to walk away, start over again.<br>

<br>

No more rain<br>

No more roses<br>

On my way, shake my thirst in a cool, cool pond.<br>

<br>

There is a winner in every place<br>

There is a heart that's beating in every page<br>

The beginning of it starts at the end<br>

When it's time to walk away and start over again.<br>

<br>

Weather is murder at a hundred and three <br>

William Ray shot Corabell Lee<br>

A yellow dog knows when he has sinned<br>

You want to walk away and start over again.<br>

<br>

No more rain<br>

No more roses<br>

On my way, shaking my thirst in a cool cool pond.<br>

<br>

Cooper told Maui the whole block is gone<br>

They're dying for jewelry, money, and clothes<br>

I always get out of the trouble I'm in<br>

I want to walk away, start over again.<br>

<br>

I left my bible by the side of the road<br>

Carve my initials in an old dead tree<br>

I'm going away but I'm going to be back when<br>

It's time to walk away and start over again.<br>

<br>
