This one goes to iaiaspot! ^^ Forget the cello player, my dear:

Walk Away

I swapped my innocence for pride
Crushed the end within my stride
Said "I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaver"
I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
Mascara bleeds a blackened tear, oh
And I am cold
Yes I'm cold
But not as cold as you are
I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
I love the sound of you walking away, walking away

Hey, Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?
No buildings will fall down
Why don't you walk away?
No quake will split the ground
Why don't you walk away?
The sun won't swallow the sky
Why don't you walk away?
Statues will not cry
Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?

I cannot turn to see those eyes
As apologies may rise
I must be strong and stay an unbeliever
And love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
Mascara bleeds into my eye, oh
And I'm not cold
I am old
At least as old as you are
As you walk away

And as you walk away
As you walk away
As you walk away
My headstone crumbles down
As you walk away
The Hollywood wind's a howl
As you walk away
The Kremlin's falling
As you walk away
The Radio 4 is static
As you walk away
As you walk away
As you walk away
As you walk away

The stab of stiletto
On a silent night
Stalin smiles and
Hitler laughs,
Churchill claps
Mao Tse-Tung
On the back


The first artists that came to mind while listening to this were the Beatles for the tune and Leonard Cohen for the lyrics. What do you think about it?
