Lyrics
14. Just Walk On
Hot sparks were flying, when we first met / We grabbed the world; no safety net / When rains came falling, we drifted apart / We wanted one love, but had two hearts / Just can’t believe it, just can’t be true / How can I go on, without you?
I grip the speed dial on my phone
Fingers trembling; just walk on
Chorus: Oh, beautiful rainbow across the sky / The rain is over; we’ve said goodbye / My head is reeling, knowing you’re gone / My heart keeps pounding; just walk on
Saturday nights at home won’t do
I roam the bars and smoke-filled rooms
Looking for something, I’m not quite sure / This empty feeling, there’s no one there / One-night friendships, hello and gone / Just aren’t like me, somehow feel wrong / Is my life meant to be all alone? Is there no shelter, from this storm? Chorus
Feeling lonely, hitched a ride to Maine
There I found sunshine in pouring rain
She smiled my way, wet from the storm
A smile is funny, hope once more
As time rolls on, old heartaches fade
Like blue balloons, just float away
You’ll find your heart in a different room / A heart is funny, like a blue balloon Chorus
