While Heroes Cry

David woke up with a headache to fight
Couldn't remember the previous night too well
Drowning he fell
Twenty nine years from the date of his birth
With nothing to show but a folio worth a lot
The fine things he bought
And David's learning not to feel
Without a friend to help him heal
This time

Why don't you just walk away
This time
Why don't you just walk away
You live your life
While heroes cry, cry

Sandy got married while still in her teens
To a moneyed man who'd make her dreams come true
(lie number two)
She wants to believe that she made the right choice
But sometimes she finds that she's listening to the voice inside
So long denied
Now every day is harder still
With endless empty hours to fill
This time

Why don't you just walk away
This time
Why don't you just walk away
You live your life
While heroes cry, cry

David makes his whole world pay
And Sandy waits through one more day
This time

Why don't you just walk away
This time
Why don't you just walk away
You live your life
While heroes cry

Why don't you just walk away
This time
Why don't you just walk away
You live your life
While heroes cry

Why don't you just walk away
This time
Why don't you just walk away
You live your life...
