Don't walk away Eileen
I've been living for you since the age of seventeen
Don't walk away Eileen
You've been telling lies and now it's time to come clean

Hey! You come around and I can't keep time
Hey! You turn around and I'm left behind

Eileen says I'm a boy not a man
Cryin' in the corner with my head in my hands
I called her name and she ran
Slippin' through my fingers like a fist full of sand

Hey! You come around and I lose my hand
Hey! You turn around and I'm left for dead

And she reads my mind when I'm sleepin'
And she always arrives when I'm leavin'
Yeah she's blocking out the sun, it seems
You're a pacifist with a gun, Eileen

Hey! You come around and I can't keep time
Hey! You turn around and I'm left behind
Hey! You come around and I lose my hand
Hey! You turn around and I'm left for dead

Don't walk away Eileen
