Blitzen Trapper - Love The Way You Walk Away lyrics
[Blitzen Trapper - Love The Way You Walk Away lyrics]
I've been feelin' in the way
Caught underfoot on a Saturday
The sun it don't mean to hurt I guess
But the bright light's harsh when
Your trying to rest
I know you've been working some overtime
In your granddad's kitchen tryin'
To make a dime
The old joke stands, 'cause it's true I guess
That when you find what you're looking
For you want it less
'Cause baby I'm on the make
In my ol' sport coat and my head it aches
I'm drinking too much tonight
And it ain't right
And a brand new coat of paint
On this broke down palace
Couldn't compensate for the things I never
Really said to make you stay
'Cause, I love the way you walk away
I spent the night in an old Sedan
It was parked by the river
Where the oak tree stands
Try to find a station on that radio
Searchin' hard for a song that
I just don't know
Some kind of personal epiphany
But all I heard was the stars
As they spoke to me
In an ancient tongue, speakin' loud and true
Telling me all the ways that I'm losing you
'Cause baby I'm on the make
In my ol' sport coat and my head it aches
I'm lettin' you down tonight
And it ain't right
And a brand new coat of paint
On this broke down palace
Couldn't compensate for the things I never
Really said to make you stay
'Cause, I love the way you walk away
I been feelin' hard to get
Like a dog hidin' out underneath the step
Burnin' this bridge 'cause I need the light
For to see my way through the comin' night
Guess I thought you'd always
Just play the game
Come a walkin' on back down the same old lane
But the grass grows high all around your door
It's a sign or a symbol
For the things in store
'Cause baby I'm on the make
In my ol' sport coat and my head it aches
I'm drinkin' too much tonight
And it ain't right
And a brand new coat of paint
On this broke down palace
Couldn't compensate for the things I never
Really said to make you stay
'Cause, I love the way you walk away
Caught underfoot on a Saturday
The sun it don't mean to hurt I guess
But the bright light's harsh when
Your trying to rest
I know you've been working some overtime
In your granddad's kitchen tryin'
To make a dime
The old joke stands, 'cause it's true I guess
That when you find what you're looking
For you want it less
'Cause baby I'm on the make
In my ol' sport coat and my head it aches
I'm drinking too much tonight
And it ain't right
And a brand new coat of paint
On this broke down palace
Couldn't compensate for the things I never
Really said to make you stay
'Cause, I love the way you walk away
I spent the night in an old Sedan
It was parked by the river
Where the oak tree stands
Try to find a station on that radio
Searchin' hard for a song that

Some kind of personal epiphany
But all I heard was the stars

Telling me all the ways that I'm losing you
