Don't look away
Oh don't you ever look away.
Bought that CD that you play.
Don't you ever look away.
Got some new paint on the wall.
It's that color that you saw.
So, don't you look away.
Wondering why you cry.
Wonder why I try?
In the clearing of perfect day.
In the evening and the afternoon.
In the middle of an epic novel.
Want so dearly to stay this way.
Heed the words that I must say.
Oh, won't you sing this time?
