Walk Away
Sister Of Mercy The Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And in the summer when the clouds show through
I might go the same way too if
You and I could talk together
Well what am I supposed to do with
You and I would walk together
Then with always close around and
Now you gaze toward the doorway
When the weather comes falling down

And when the rain comes down
Would you choose to walk or stay
Would you choose to walk
Would you choose to stay
Would you
Walk walk walk walk walk away
(away) (away) away away (away) away
away away walk away
Would you choose to walk away

And when the rain comes down
Would you choose to walk or stay
Would you choose to walk
Would you choose to stay
Would you
Walk walk walk walk walk away
Though when the day is nearly
Through I might see the same way too if
You would name the things
That bring you down on me so I could say it's
Not quite true if you don't really
Know or understand the circumstance
Behind then I might clear your
Mind and you won't have to go so

And when the rain comes down
Would you choose to walk or stay
Would you choose to walk
Would you choose to stay
Would you
Walk walk walk walk walk away
(away) (away) away away (away) away




away away walk away
Would you choose to walk away

#Lyrics  "Walk Away"

And in the summer when the clouds show through
I might go the same way too if
You and I could talk together
Well what am I supposed to do with
You and I would walk together
Then with always close around and
Now you gaze toward the doorway
When the weather comes falling down

[CHORUS]
And when the rain comes down
Would you choose to walk or stay
Would you choose to walk
Would you choose to stay
Would you
Walk walk walk walk walk away
(away) (away) away away (away) away 
away away walk away
Would you choose to walk away

And when the rain comes down
Would you choose to walk or stay
Would you choose to walk 
Would you choose to stay
Would you
Walk walk walk walk walk away 

Though when the day is nearly
Through I might see the same way too if
You would name the things 
That bring you down on me so I could say it's
Not quite true if you don't really
Know or understand the circumstance
Behind then I might clear your
Mind and you won't have to go so

[CHORUS]

IR EMBORA

E no verão quando as nuvens se passam
And in the summer when the clouds show through

Eu devo ir no mesmo caminho também se
I might go the same way too if

Você e eu pudéssemos falar juntos
You and I could talk together

Bem o que eu deveria fazer com
Well what am I supposed to do with

Você e eu poderíamos andar juntos
You and I would walk together

Então como sempre por perto e
Then with always close around and

Agora você olha fixo para a porta de saída
Now you gaze toward the doorway

Quando o clima vem caindo
When the weather comes falling down

Equando a chuva cai
And when the rain comes down

Você escolheria ir embora ou ficar
Would you choose to walk or stay

Você escolheria ir embora
Would you choose to walk

Você escolheria ficar
Would you choose to stay

Você andaria, andaria, andaria, andaria, iria embora
Would you walk walk walk walk walk away

Embora, embora, embora, embora, embora
(away) (away) away away (away)

Embora, embora, embora, ir embora
away away away walk away

Você escolheria ir embora
Would you choose to walk away

E quando a chuva cai
And when the rain comes down

Você escolheria ir embora ou ficar
Would you choose to walk or stay

Você escolheria ir
Would you choose to walk

Você escolheria ficar
Would you choose to stay

Você andaria, andaria
Would you walk walk

Andaria, andraria, andaria longe
walk walk walk away

Penso quando o dia está próximo
Though when the day is nearly

Através do que eu poderia ver do mesmo modo se
Through I might see the same way too if

Você nomeasse as coisas
You would name the things

Que te trazem para baixo em mim, então
That bring you down on me so

Eu poderia dizer que
I could say it's

Não é realmente verdade se você não
Not quite true if you don't really

Conhece ou entende a circunstância
Know or understand the circumstance

Por trás então eu poderia limpar sua
Behind then I might clear your

Mente e você não vai ter que ir então
Mind and you won't have to go so

Então quando a chuva cai
So when the rain comes down

Você escolherá ir ou ficar?
Would you choose to walk or stay

Você escolherá ir embora
Would you choose to walk

Você escolherá ficar?
Would you choose to stay

Você iria, iria
Would you walk walk

Iria, iria, iria, iria longe
walk walk walk away (away)

Longe, longe, longe, longe
(away) away away (away)

Longe, longe, longe, longe, longe
away away away walk away

Você escolheria ir embora?
Would you choose to walk away

I wish I was a teenager in the 80s, when the goth scene was at it's most glorious and had the best music.

@patricianunesdealmeida848

Sorry languege Portguese: mesmo que em um sol de 40 graus é tudo se bom. Esta voz é estranhassima de boa!

@budybradley8257

No you don’t. I was there. Most goth band sucked. Only a few stand out. The sisters, bauhaus, and xymox stand out.

@theblackfordmanorvampires

I was there and full on into the scene. You missed one hell of an awesome part of history. I'd give almost anything to go back for just one night...

@RIVALContentJammerz

@@budybradley8257 Whoa. It might not have been what it's made out to have been, but it beats the shit out of the modern era. What about Skinny Puppy, Souixie, Depeche, and just all kinds of indie clubs and scenes that were smart phone free.
