The Chain Gang of 1974 — Don't Walk Away lyrics

Lyrics

In the fields where I saw you first
Rising like the sun
I saw it setting in your eyes
Take my hand, let’s run
To the land our fathers built
Washed in their blood
For this life I’d give up To stand in your love
I’ve waited all my life
To know you in this way
I’ve waited all my life
I ask and I pray
Don’t walk away
Don’t walk away
Don’t walk away
Don’t walk away
In the distance I heard you cry
For me to come home
Even though I’m a thousand miles
You’re not alone
And to the land our fathers built
Bricks in their hands
For this life I’d give up To stand as your man
I’ve waited all my life
To know you in this way
I’ve waited all my life
I ask and I pray
Don’t walk away
Don’t walk away
Don’t walk away
Don’t walk away
