Story Behind The Song

Melody led to the hook, which led to the lyric Feeling of living in an apartment, middle of the night, standing in the kitchen was the visual I started with.

Song Description

Man wakes to find his long time partner has left him in the middle of the night. She leaves what no longer has value and takes one item from her past she is attached to.

Lyrics

Walked From it All
© 2019 Frederick M. Spina


Honey in the bottom of her favorite teacup
Still warm to the touch
No keys, no hat, no shoes in the hall
My baby walked from it all

Our quarrels never drew red flashing lights
We always said good night
There's a note taped on the kitchen wall
My baby walked from it all

I was asleep when she changed our life
In the moment did she whisper goodbye
Her dad's old clock no longer ticks on the wall
My baby walked from it all

Paint chips sit and wait on the wall
Grabbed the note some jump and fall
On the floor was the necklace she wore
My baby walked from it all

I was asleep when she changed our life
In the moment did she whisper goodbye
Her dad's old clock no longer ticks on the wall
My baby walked from it all

Instrumental

Three short words, all capitals and tall
All she wrote was "please don't call"
My baby walked from it all
My baby walked from it all

I was asleep when she changed our life
In the moment did she whisper goodbye
Her dad's old clock no longer ticks on the wall
My baby walked from it all

My baby, just walked, from it all
