Lyrics
[Verse 1] Shoes Clicking on concrete
Heavy
I watched the taxi pull away
Wait
Gone in a gray blur
The porch light flickers red
Cold metal keys in my hand
Heavy metal keys
Hanging low
Broken lock
Left me behind
[Chorus] Why did you go away
Why did you go away
Everything we had is a shadow
Why did you go away
(Go away)
(Go away)
I am standing in the rain
Why did you go away
[Post-Chorus] Hee hee
Hoo
Ch-ch-ch-ch
Hoo
Aow
[Verse 2] Dust
Settling on your picture frame
Sad
The perfume still hangs in the hall
Thick
Heavier than the air
I found your silk scarf by the door
Blue silk scarf
Folded neat
Left alone
Nothing left to say
Nothing left to do
Nothing left to feel
[Chorus] Why did you go away
Why did you go away
Everything we had is a shadow
Why did you go away
(Go away)
(Go away)
I am standing in the rain
Why did you go away
[Bridge] Maybe I was blind
Maybe I was deaf
Maybe I was numb
Tell me what I missed
Tell me where you went
Tell me how to breathe
Running out of time
Running out of air
Running out of hope
[Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Why did you go away
Why did you go away
Everything we had is a shadow
Why did you go away
(Go away)
(Go away)
I am standing in the rain
Why did you go away
[Outro] Gone
Just gone
You left me standing here
(Hoo)
Don't walk away
(Hoo)
Come back
Come back
Come back
(Hee hee) [End]
