Don't Walk Away
Drumfish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The wind will have to pull me through
I have to play without my hands
And hope my feet will understand
They walk without me anyway
And when they?re tired they will say
(Chorus) Don?t walk away from the places you know
Don?t walk away from the places you know
Follow me this time
I?ll leave the curtains up for you
The calling warm still rings untrue
My hands have left and gone away
But with out them I still play
They?re taken back again by you
Just be aware when they tell you
(Chorus)
Can you whisper you?re line
Cuz I can hear you wasting time
Whenever you decide to follow mine
(Chorus) 2x
