And when I walked out on you
It was nothing new
And I know in all that you shook me
You tried to be true

I had my back to the wall
When I was under it all
You couldn’t hear me no not anyone
You were drunk and too tall

Up in the clouds but under the dew
Engine is dirty and smoke is the hook
Gotta reason to love but hate is the crook
For the ones who have hurt you left you black and blue

And when you walked out on me
It was nothing new
And you know in all that I shook you
I tried to be true

You had your back to the wall
When you were under it all
I couldn’t bear you, no not anyone
Til the dark was undone

Up in the clouds but under the dew
Engine is dirty and smoke is the hook
Gotta reason to love but hate is the crook
For the ones who have hurt me left me black and blue

break Verse

Get along little birdie, get along
Smooth your feathers cause the wind is strong
Get along little birdie, get along
Back to the tears when the heart beats were young

And when I walked out on you
It was nothing new
And I know in all that you shook me
You tried to be true
