Lyrics

Walk Away
words and music by Diana Di Gioia

Her kiss was like whiskey
It burned my tongue
In the heat of your gaze
I came all un-done
I used to think I knew just how to make my play
But in the flash of a smile I had forgotten how to walk away

We used to talk like sisters
Share our struggles and tears
She knew all of my secrets
I knew all of her fears
But then black and white turned a thousand shades of grey
And in the trance of romance, I had forgotten how to walk away

She was long, tall Sally
I was Suzie Q
Somehow she knew everything
That I could want her to do
All night long, we hosted our little soiree
And when night turned to day, I had forgotten how to walk away

My heart was hungry
So it followed her home
I was a lonely dog
That only wanted a bone
But somehow I found myself at her buffet C, G, C, G, C
And once she tripped past my lips, I had forgotten how to walk away

I was the queen of hearts G
She was the ace of spades
I was a one trick pony
She was jack of all trades
When I made my bid, she knew things I did not mean to convey
Although she spotted my “tell”, I had forgotten how to walk away
In the trance of romance, I had forgotten how to walk away
In the flash of a smile I had forgotten how to walk away
