When You're Walking Away

Lyrics: Jackie Greene
Music: Jackie Greene

A Jackie Greene song played with Phil Lesh and Friends in 2007

Well I ain�t gonna ask you what you�re doing here
I know you got your reasons but honey, they ain�t ever clear
And maybe it�s just better that you never stay
I love you more when you�re walking away

I ain�t gonna ask you what�s on your mind
It�s hard enough for my own head to unwind
The world is getting smaller, each and every day
And I love you more when you�re walking away

When you�re walking away
Baby, I get high like i never could
You don�t stay, although sometimes I wish you would
Everything�s clear when you�re not here

Lonesome is a candle in the night
A one-room bedroom window crying-light
You take me for granted, but baby that's OK
I love you more when you�re walking away

When you�re walking away
Baby I get high like I never could
You don�t stay, honey sometimes I wish you would
Everything�s clear when you�re not here

Well I ain�t gonna ask you what you�re doing here
Take what you can get and then disapear
Ah but that�s alright mama, you can leave me any day
'Cause I love you more when you�re walking away
