John Mellencamp

Exhausted by too many tears
Trouble is everywhere
Hold you in my arms
Blue Charlotte
While your eyes gaze up at me
I'm not the man I used to be
You still own my heart
Blue Charlotte
Look away, look away
They're so precious, these last few days
Look away, look away
We watch as it comes to an end
Blue Charlotte
And if you pass tonight in your sleep
You will still have me to weep
I'm all that remains here
Blue Charlotte
Yellow letters from your youth
All of them seeking truth
The poems written from me to you
Blue Charlotte
Look away, look away
They're so precious, these last few days
Look away, please look away
We watch all that screams
Blue Charlotte
Look away, look away
We watch as autumn comes to an end
Blue Charlotte
It's a long, long way from here
Our reflection in the mirror
Now you've closed your eyes
Blue Charlotte
It's a slow walk to the grave
Here we are together today
You've been my whole life
Blue Charlotte
Look away, look away
They're so precious, these last few days
Look away, look away
We watch as something new begins
Blue Charlotte
