Letters from the 9th Ward / Walk Away Rene

And when I see the sign that points one way

A lot I used to pass by every day

Just walk away Renée

You won't see me follow you back home

The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same

You're not to blame

Your name and mine inside, a heart on a wall

Still finds a way to haunt me, though they were so small

Just walk away Renée

You won't see me follow you back home

Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes

For me, it cries

From deep inside, the tears  I'm forced to hide

From deep inside, the tears I'm forced to cry

Just walk away Renée

You won't see me follow you back home

The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same

You're not to blame
