It appears we may have finally found a sweet spot
Somewhere between the grove and cedars and the lake
Was that commotion an explosion or a gunshot
A firecracker's just as likely and it's easier to take

Look away, look away don't watch me
A silhouette against a watercolor sky
Look away, look away don't watch me
From the tall weeds
Don't wait, don't wait up for me tonight
I left my memory in the evergreen

It looks as if we may have come across a camp site
A moldy blanket and the remnants of a fire
AN open space illuminated in the moonlight
I'm getting thirsty, kind of sleepy
And I'm starting to perspire

Look away, look away don't watch me
A silhouette against a watercolor sky
Look away, look away don't watch me
From the tall weeds
Don't wait, don't wait up for me tonight
I left my memory in the evergreen

There's a chance we may have landed in an ambush
I took a bullet and I'm bleeding pretty bad
Was that goodbye a salutation or a hard push
I bet my money on the latter and I'm anything but gold

Look away, look away don't watch me
A silhouette against a watercolor sky
Look away, look away don't watch me
From the tall weeds
Don't wait, don't wait up for me tonight
I left my memory in the evergreen

I don't know your expression in the moonlight
But I still have your picture to remind me
