Don't Let Me Walk Away - Rae Monroe
Some play at love as if the game
Was all there was to keep the pain;
Of fraility and human doubt away
From what their live's about.
Some run from love, deny their hearts
Afraid that what they've found will part
From their caress before it's done
They live alone under the Sun -
Don't let me walk away.
I am free I have a choice
I choose to live, I choose your voice;
Your eye's caress, your silent care
Don't let me leave to disappear.
So many search to find a friend
But when they do, they just pretend;
afraid to keep love when it's real
Denying what they truly feel,
Don't let me walk away
[Bridge]
We travel through space and time
We call it life and say it's fine
If we never meet again
Passing through so many hearts with ease
Let's put an end to this forgery and love and laugh
And get ourselves free.
What we've been given is so rare
Many try and fail to care
To see beyond, to get behind
Around the nightside of the mind.
To gentleness and passions strength
To tenderness without restraint;
These earnest hearts that beat as one
Don't let me leave, we've just begun
Don't let me walk away
Don't let me walk away
Don't let me walk away.
