Walk Away from Guitar Songs by Carolyn Braus

One more sip of that cigarette you’re draggin down the road
From your lips to your fingertips and out the window
An amber ember that just yesterday
Like a cricket woulda skipped across the lanes
Now melts into the falling rain

A familiar scene of your bags stuffed to the seams in the back seat
Four years ago or so we both thought that our lives were complete
The pretty phrases that you said to me like recordings of your voice
Embarrassed by the sound of words that you bled

So walk away
Walk away

All those little things you know we couldn’t stand about each other
I would bet we’ll both be missing them by summer
Whatever happened to the story dear, you told from time to time, about how love’s a choice
So why can’t it work again

Walk away
Walk away

Imagination got the best of you
Got caught up in your mind
Now you wish you could resign
From the problem you made me
Just hope you find what I couldn’t be

If you’re comin through sometime you know I got a pillow with your name
The years have come and gone somehow I think about you just the same
Imagination gets the best of me
Maybe through the open doors one day you’ll walk toward me and say hello my friend
