walk on |
|
Someone
called out to you |
And
it sounded just like crying |
On
a street where nobody |
Even
knows your name |
Your
mind was getting high on the sweet air |
As
your spirit was flying |
|
Steam
rising from the sidewalks |
Of
New Orleans after an evening rain |
Steam
rising from the sidewalks |
After
an evening rain |
|
And
it only made the heat |
Feel
like it was walking even closer |
As
you headed up St. Charles |
To
catch a streetcar named Desire |
Young
couple struggling in the doorway |
Like
he was trying to force her |
|
In
the distance you swore |
You
could hear them open fire |
Tires
squealing in the distance |
As
you heard them open fire |
|
CHORUS: |
Walk
on, walk on |
Don't
look back |
Don't
ask questions |
Don't
you try to understand |
Walk
on, walk on |
Straight
back down to your hotel room |
Where
she lies waiting for her man |
|
You're
so afraid you might be losing love |
That
is makes you worry |
And
you wonder if she's ever seen this |
Kind
of fear in you |
And
you think of that young couple |
In
the doorway |
And
it makes you hurry |
|
You
wonder what kind of fear |
They
might be living through |
Yeah
you wonder if |
They
saw that fear in you |
|
REPEAT
CHORUS |
