about

Life has many flavors, and though we try not to go there that often these days, this somewhat melancholy piece was a song Dave and Eric collaborated on a couple decades ago, in John's townhouse basement... After some persuasion by others in the band, we finally brought this off-brand VWR composition into the fold to be recorded properly. Dave's emotional solo and Fred's cello add to the overall mournful tone. No worries, we'll knock out a happy one again next time.. Hope you enjoy this side of VWR as well :)!

lyrics

I CAN'T WALK AWAY
(Kern, Ratts)

Man, it's really dark tonight
there are clouds in every passerby
there's no cold like winter rain
i feel a chill in everything
and i can't hold out that long when everything is gone
it doesn't take a cyclone
and i wonder how i came so far to feel so lame
i could live or check out any day

but i can't walk away
from this pointless joke i choke on everyday
i'm too far gone, just let me lay

so you missed the boat again
waiting for what might have been
did it cost you everything
to be hoping and imagining?
and she never will compare to castles in the air
to your residential deep domestic nightmare
and i couldn't help but hear you've begun to disappear
man, we all could use a way right out of here...

and i can't walk away
from this losing game the cards are stacked to play
it's "just your luck" i heard her say

no i can't walk away
from this sinking ship i watched you sail away
i'm too far gone, just let me lay...
