I wanted to stay away I'm telling you all, my friends I wanted to stay away Never could see this end I wanted to stay away I wanted to stay away And never see what they call their own I wanted to stay away I wanted to rest here on my own I wanted to stay away Another disguise In pictures of your family Seem so good to me And on this Fourth of July And all their names escaping me It's a fleeting feeling When all the leaves fall away Leave you until the storm has ended I want you to stay away Till I find what it was I lost I wanted to stay away I wanted to stay away I wanted to stay away I wanted to stay away I wanted to stay away
