I wrote a song called Throwin' it All Away about [Blind Melon vocalist Shannon Hoon] when I did the Book of Shadows record. It was weird, because I ended up meeting Shannon’s daughter when we were out with Guns N' Roses, when we were doing shows with them. I guess Axl keeps in touch with the family...
[Verse 1]
You couldn't feel the sunlight upon your face
Your little world, a little out of place
You couldn't hear the ocean, you couldn't hear the waves
I know you meant to come back, I know you meant to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
An' all you touch
An' all you knew
An' all you love
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Oh, I can see you smile, can you see my tears?
I reach to hold you, but you ain't there
You left a hole so big, Lord, beyond repair
I try to find forgiveness in talkin' what we'll never share
[Pre-Chorus]
An' all you touch
An' all you knew
An' all you love
You just left 'em with nothing to say
[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, you're just throwin' it all away
Ooh-ooh, no, you didn't care to see the light of day
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, you're just throwin' it all away
Like the sand upon the shore, your crashing waves came took you away
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
An' all you touch
An' all you knew
An' all you love
You just left 'em with nothing to say
[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, you're just throwin' it all away
Ooh-ooh, no, you didn't care to see the light of day
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, you're just throwin' it all away
Like the sand upon the shore, your crashing waves came took you away
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, you're just throwin' it all away
Ooh-ooh, no, you didn't care to see the light of day
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, you're just throwin' it all away
Like the sand upon the shore, your crashing waves came took you away
