Walked along beside you Or followed from behind It seemed I'd walked for miles and miles But couldn't banish you from my side
I've never been so certain Of anything in my life It seemed that there was nothing left I would have followed you until I died
If I only could have seen in a moment Everything that seems so clear of the past Then maybe I'd forget the reasons why I stayed I would have lied before I left that night
Walked away without you I left you far behind I walked and fought my heart all night But couldn't banish you from my side
I've never been so frightened Of losing you from my life I've never needed more and more To kill the spirit that won't die
If I only could have known in a moment That you'd tear the majesty from my life Then maybe I'd forget the reason why I prayed I should have lied before I left that night
Walked away without you I buried you at the start I walked and walked for time untold But couldn't banish you from my heart
It seems you never knew me You couldn't touch my soul And in the ending, in the quiet There was nothing left to show
