Don't Walk Away Eileen Lyrics
Don't walk away Eileen.
I've been living for you since the age of 17
Don't walk away Eileen
You've been telling lies and now it's time to come clean
Hey you come around and
Hey you come around and
Hey you come around and I can't keep time
Hey you turn around and
Hey you turn around and
Hey you turn around and I'm left behind
Eileen says I'm a boy not a man
Crying on the corner with my head in my hands
I called her name and she ran
Slipping through my fingers like a fish full of sand
Hey you come around and
Hey you come around and
Hey you come around and I lose my head
Hey you turn around and
Hey you turn around and
Hey you turn around and I'm left for dead
And she reads my mind when I'm sleeping
And she always arrives when I'm leaving
And she's blocking out the sun it seems
You're a placifist with a gun Eileen
Hey you come around and
Hey you come around and
Hey you come around and I can't keep time
Hey you turn around and
Hey you turn around and
Hey you turn around and I'm left behind
Hey you come around and
Hey you come around and
Hey you come around and I lose my head
Hey you turn around and
Hey you turn around and
Hey you turn around and I'm left for dead
Don't walk away Eileen
I've been living for you since the age of 17
Don't walk away Eileen
You've been telling lies and now it's time to come clean
Hey you come around and
Hey you come around and I can't keep time
Hey you turn around and
Hey you turn around and
Hey you turn around and I'm left behind
Crying on the corner with my head in my hands
I called her name and she ran
Slipping through my fingers like a fish full of sand
Hey you come around and
Hey you come around and I lose my head
Hey you turn around and
Hey you turn around and
Hey you turn around and I'm left for dead
And she always arrives when I'm leaving
And she's blocking out the sun it seems
You're a placifist with a gun Eileen
Hey you come around and
Hey you come around and I can't keep time
Hey you turn around and
Hey you turn around and
Hey you turn around and I'm left behind
Hey you come around and
Hey you come around and I lose my head
Hey you turn around and
Hey you turn around and
Hey you turn around and I'm left for dead

This is a great song. I have yet to hear a Sam Roberts song I don't like.
The lyrics are pretty much right except for where it says "like a fish full of sand" it should be "like a fist full of sand"
Sam Roberts is so groovadelic! I can't wait to see him in concert!!!! I REALLY need lyrics for "This is how I live"!!! ALL groovy songs!!!
Oh my god, this song is almost like a situation I'm going through...
Haven't heard the song, but heard Brother Down, so I'm just exploring...
(goes to d/l his song)
Question, is there a CD with all his songs yet? Or is there not enough yet? He rocks with his rythms and his lyrics.
There's a 6-song disc called "The Inhuman Condition" that I spent all summer listening to.
Sam Roberts put out an album a few days ago actually, I heard its good but I have yet to buy it. Not tryin to be picky but its supposed to be "You're a PACIFIST with a gun Eileen" Anyway this song rocks, Sam rocks! Did yall know he plays every instrument except the drums on the album??
just saw him on conan obrien - very kickass.
must i say everything is kickass? no, just everything that is kickass. haha.
hahaha "fish full of sand" dumbass anyways. i went to sams concert just last night and i think ill remebr it forever it was amazing the crowd when totally nuts for this song :)
i drive everyone crazy with this song. but hey, how can you NOT sing this at the top of your lungs?
