Letters From The 9th Ward / Walk Away Renee

And when I see the sign that points one way

The lot we used to pass by every day

Just walk away Renee

You won't see me follow you back home

The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same

You're not to blame

From deep inside the tears that I'm forced to cry

From deep inside the pain that I chose to hide

Just walk away Renee

You won't see me follow you back home

Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes

For me it cries

Just walk away Renee

You won't see me follow you back home

Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes

For me it cries

Your name and mine inside a heart upon a wall

Still finds a way to haunt me, though they're so small

Just walk away Renee

You won't see me follow you back home

The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same

You're not to blame
