Letters From The 9th Ward/Walk Away Rene
(Rickie Lee Jones - Brown-Calilli-Sansone)

And when I see the sign
That points one way
A lot I used to pass by
Every day

Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
You're not to blame

Your name and mine
Inside a heart upon a wall
Still finds a way to haunt me
Though they're so small

Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes
For me it cries

From deep inside the tears that I'm forced to hide
From deep inside my tears I'm forced to cry

Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
You're not to blame.
