Walk Away from Heaven

When time takes no prisoners this side of the moon
and fortunes the hunter and living’s for free
and you broke my defences you took a piece of my heart and I
couldn’t believe this could happen to a man like me
now you’ve had your lovers and you’ve got your friends
we come from different horizons, but the end was the same
hot nights in the city or the touch of your skin
oh I couldn’t believe this could happen to a man like me
And if you ask me for a reason then I wouldn’t have a clue
but I’d walk away from heaven just to be with you
honey just to be with you
Ain’t got no axe to grind ain’t no tour de force
you asked me in for a bottle of wine I said of course
Now the river is singin' way down past your door
and the forest is moving, in the arms of the wind
Far away from the city we got time on our side
Oh I never believed that ever was forever like this
and time takes no prisoners and time makes the rules
and time plays the marker for the wise men and fools
outside winter is howling we’re lying soft in your bed
oh I never believed this could happen to a man like me
And if you ask me for a reason then I wouldn’t have a clue
but I’d walk away from heaven just to be with you
honey just to be with you
And all the gold of Kubla Khan, couldn’t change my point of view
yes I’d walk away from heaven just to be with you
oh I’d walk away from heaven just to be with you
