Don't walk away Eileen
I've been living for you since the age of seventeen
Don't walk away Eileen
You've been telling lies and now it's time to come clean
Hey! You come around and I can't keep time
Hey! You turn around and I'm left behind
Eileen says I'm a boy not a man
Cryin' on the corner with my head in my hands
I called her name and she ran
Slippin' through my fingers like a fist full of sand
Hey! You come around and I lose my head
Hey! You turn around and I'm left for dead
And she reads my mind when I'm sleeping
And she always arrives when I'm leaving
Yeah she's blocking out the sun it seems
You're a pacifist with a gun Eileen
Hey! You come around and I can't keep time
Hey! You turn around and I'm left behind
Hey! You come around and I lose my head
Hey! You turn around and I'm left for dead
