  • Dot King was whittled from the bone of Cain
    With a little drop of poison in the red red blood
    She need a way to turn around the bend
    She said I want to walk away and start over again

    There are things I've done I can't erase
    I want to look in the mirror see another face
    I said, "never", but I'm doing it again
    I wanna walk away, start over again

    No more rain, no more roses
    On my way, shake my thirst in a cool cool pond

    There's a winner in every place
    There's a heart that's beating in every page
    The beginning of it starts at the end
    When it's time to walk away and start over again

    Weather's murder at a hundred and three
    William Ray shot Corabell Lee
    A yellow dog knows when he has sinned
    You wanna walk away and start over again

    No more rain, no more roses
    On my way, shaking my thirst in a cool cool pond

    Cooper told Maui the whole block's gone
    They're dying for jewelry, money, and clothes
    I always get out of the trouble I'm in
    I want to walk away, start over again

    I left my bible by the side of the road
    Carve my initials in an old dead tree
    I'm going away but I'm going to be back when
    It's time to walk away and start over again

    Ho ho yeah, hmm, yeah
    Gotta walk away, gotta walk away, gotta walk away
    Just wanna walk away yeah, wanna walk away and start over again
    Wanna walk away, wanna walk away, wanna walk away Writer/s: KATHLEEN BRENNAN, THOMAS ALAN WAITS
