(Abowd)

Walk on by
White ribbons in your hair
And if you stop to say hello
Then let my tongue not stay stagnant
Until my time is up and you've gone to get you some

Shine brightly
Like starlight in the night
I'd almost rather see you go
And keep my hopes from igniting
For I'll be a fool before last call has come and gone

Oh I could try
I could climb out on a limb
But what if I can't fly?
No better I
Heave a sigh
Let that dream sleep through the night
It's still alive

Walk on by
Who ever looked so kind?
But when you stop to say hello
I'm a gazelle from your lion
Except you don't chase me long cause you've gone to feed you some

Oh I could act
Matter fact
But I bet you'd see right through my, my, my
No better my
Parting smile
Let that dream enjoy the night
It's still alive

Yeah keep my hopes from igniting
So they don't self-destruct and I never get me none

Walk on by
With no one on your arm
And if you stop to say hello
