What can I say about this song. I recorded it directly to a tape deck using this old 4 channel Peavey amp. I was bored, and sick with bronchitis on a rainy day, and decided to record this song for a friend of mine. That was something I used to do. As practice, I would make personal tapes for people close to me, and send the tape to them. So the song is about the usual bit... Guy has a girl, fucks things up, says he's sorry. That kind of thing. Someone once told me that if you took all the loves songs that people have written over the exsistence of man and stacked them on top of each other. It would be tall enough to reach the moon! I think Mark Reynolds from Red Flag told me that.
Lyrics
Give me your hand
So I could lead you astray
Give me your eyes
So I could show you the way
I want to leave this darkened place
Away from harm
Away from the disgrace
Give me your mind
So I could teach you the way
Give me your life
So I could fill it up again
I want to leave this darkened place
Away from harm
Away from the disgrace
And I can see you telling me
That I was wrong for trying
That I made a big mistake
And now you go away crying
Well can't you understand?
A man has to be a man
In this world we live in today
Let's go away
I see you trying
But I'm not winning
Don't walk away
I see you trying
But I'm not winning
Don't walk away
Don't walk away...
