Lyric Letters from the 9th Ward / Walk Away Renee

(Written by Rickie Lee Jones / Brown-Calilli-Sansone)

And when I see the sign that points one way
The lot we used to pass by every day

Just walk away Renee
You won t see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
You re not to blame

From deep inside the tears that I m forced to cry
From deep inside the pain that I chose to hide

Just walk away Renee
You won t see me follow you back home
Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes
For me it cries

Just walk away Renee
You won t see me follow you back home
Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes
For me it cries

Your name and mine inside a heart upon a wall
Still finds a way to haunt me, though they re so small

Just walk away Renee
You won t see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
You re not to blame
