Lyrics
This man I married is buried deep
And the more I try to wake him, the more he sleeps
I used to think I knew this man
The tenderness, not the back of his hand
It's been two weeks since he last had a drink
But the time bomb's ticking, I can never sleep
It would be easier if he did
Why do I stay here, stay with him?
Why do you do it?
Why do you treat us bad?
When you've got two kids who love you
And a wife that's missing you bad
I've got to go now
I've got to say goodbye
Don't try to stop us now
And please, don't you cry

Can't you see? We've all been through it
It's all been said before
With all these tears, for how many years
Can I keep coming back for more? No more
Must be addicted to all this pain
'Cause I keep coming back for the shame
Dear God, give me the strength to leave
I've got to keep going, keep going this time
Why do you do it?
Why do you treat us bad?
When you've got two kids who love you
And a wife that's missing you bad
I've got to go now
I've got to say goodbye
Don't try to stop us now
And please, don't you cry

I was so, so lucky to see Toni Childs in 88, in a small club, The Paradise, in Boston, during The Womans Boat tour. Still one of the most memorable shows, ger voice was truly one of the greats. Like Natalie Merchant, Toni's voice was powerful, unique and mesmerizing.
She cut her career way too short!
Im glad shes happy down under.
Love to her!❤
" Toni's voice was powerful, unique and mesmerizing.

You got that right.

One of the most powerful voices in the world.
"Don't Walk Away",.....One of my favorite songs. listen to it frequently.

Sometimes only music eases the pain
You got that right. Music can save us and bring meaning to our lives. God bless music.
I remember the life I lived when I was lost in addiction in a week my whole life fell apart but I can leave the manipulating lies in my broken past now I am crucified in Christ and have been clean for one year from addiction this since I was fifteen years old
Good on you I've been clean 8 months now I used to listen to this with my mum x
That's nice. Good 4 u..😢😢😢
Alcohol hides Pain,just like Drugs does.Toni Child's you hv the most Aamazing underrated Voice.
Just Beautiful. 👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤
Alcohol doesn’t hide anything tbh just makes it worse
Drugs hijack the brain. Rational thoughts are insignificant. The hijacked brain just wants it's next fix to get high.
Love the sinner,hate the sin. Support the recovery, don't enable your loved one. If you love them, then you will most likely enable them.Get professional help.
Took my wife and I 4 years to get our son back. Worth every penny it cost us.
Im still amazed by her voice🙌
This song is so powerful - so, empowering- so saddening- when a partner is abusive -an addict - and still for the sake of his children and wife - still cannot seek help from their internal hell. May we all give love a go but know when to go when the one you love doesn’t know what love is. God bless all of us.
Beautiful words.. and u no what the abusive mind doesn't no how to communicate and deal with problems.. love to everyone we all deserve to taste love whether it be human, animal, mineral or what ever.. it's a great song too!!!
What was the album...child? I could look up but lazy.
Great song...she's amazing live
SOUNDS AS IF YOUR LIVING A LIFE OF ( HELL )...IV BEEN THAT ADDICT DESTROYING HIS FAMILY, BUT AFTER SEEING THE SHEER MISERY ITS CAUSED MY GIRL AND HER 3GIRLS ( DAUGHTERS) A GREAT DEAL OF HELL....A WHOLE YEARS HAVE PASSED AND AM PROUD TO SAY I AM TOTALLY ON TOP OF THIS NIGHTMARE NOW...THANKS TO MY SUPPORTIVE FAMILY I AM FINNALY FREE OF THIS BLOODY NIGHTMARE....LIVE LIFE , CHOOSE LIFE AND LIVE FREELY...😅😂😂
you ruined a nice comment by your last sentence.....if that dude has such an affect on people's lives, as all of these preachers....etc...etc....say that he has, then why does this happen.
I live in hope we all get the fact we are [only] human -- fact- that bother me- especially having had a baby.
So many people have lots of memories from the butterfly buttom of our golden hearts 😂❤🎉😂😢😮😅😊🎉🎉❤❤❤😢
Music is a time machine...going through songs from this period with all these childhood memories flooding back.
God and Mother Nature bless Music. A reason to live. Music can cut through all the pain and crap in life.

Can't you see, we've all been through it
It's all been said before
With all these fears
For how many years can I keep coming
Back for more
No more
Must be addicted to all this pain
'Cause I keep coming back for the shame
Dear God, give me the strength to leave
I've got to keep going, keep going this time
Don't try to stop us now
Don't pull that stuff on me
I've got the kids all packed up
Harry's in the back with his pick-up truck
Jenny's fallen asleep again
I've got to keep driving 'til I reach the end
I can't come back here anymore
And I know it
And I know it
I can't come back here anymore
And I know it
And I know it

Incredibly poweful, It meant a lot being a child of abuse and a lot more being an adult survivor
I hope that you are well and happy now. life is or can be short. Be well.
@@garyreams8123 I fought through a lot then had my own child. My goal in life is to shelterr her from all the trauma of my family. She is nearly 7 and I think I have managed to block the generational trauma from her. So that is my win in life
This song is particularly poignant now with the epidemic of domestic violence related deaths in this country (Australia) . One woman is killed every two weeks by an intimate partner in Australia. To all DV victims out there please, please get out the first time it happens, don't stay thinking the abuser will change or it wont happen again, they will never change and it will happen again and again the longer you stay the greater the chance you wont survive it.
Women can be just as bad. The tactics though are usually psychological and emotional abuse.
Music with meaning…… What a sad & beautiful story song .
Shes got a fantastic voice
Amazing song. My parents had this album on CD, i would put this on a lot as a teen 😄
Brilliant and more
I remember exactly where I was when I first heard this in 1991. It's powerful when music is the timeline of your life.
I distinctly remember the change in the culture from 80s to the 90s. It happened in late 1991.
Oh goodness,!... ❤
Me too. I even remember it was cloudy and grey. And, I’d just moved 2,000 miles away from my abusive, cruel parents.
It isn't. Your actions are.
Music is most certainly the timeline of my life and my goodness my playlist songs all speak to me on a different level
She brought such a beautiful meaning ful song from such pain- how God lets onr Win!!!!!!!!!!!
Stay strong sister
Was good to see her in concert with The Corrs at Sandstone Point Hotel
This lady have got a soulful and beautiful voice
Trivia: when Toni was a girl, she'd sometimes sing in church, or at school, as as much as she tried to sing in a "normal" voice, it was hard for her.
She said many times she was reprimanded by the teachers (nuns?) not to sing "in that voice!"
People can (often) not put themselves into another's shoes. So, if someone can sing uniquely, then let them. Thankfully, Toni stepped up from backing singer, and wah-lah, the rest is genuine vocal mastery. Thank you, Toni !
Long time since heard this one
I remember hearing this song for the first time - RAGE..late late nite (morning lol)..TV was on in the background as I burn the midnight oil.. Was a student in Melbourne then. I loved it the the minute it started because it was just so captivating the melodies and then I learn about the lyrics. Totally amazing. Of course Toni's voice just blew me away when she sang the first words... Till this day when I hear this song, I remember those moments when I first heard of Toni Childs and it also brings back wonderful memories of my life as a student in Australia!
Brilliant
A beautiful song by a beautiful person. The sepia is just precious and suits the song and its complex message of perseverance and self care when a situation is no longer tenable. Such power in your voice - you and Tracey Chapman, my goto's in times of emotional distress. Thank you.🌈🔥🌊❄
The Older I get, the more in Ore I am of the Powerful Female Artist's, who Sung these sorts of Song's. A Time when Women Really didn't have the Freedom to Feel Strong enough to Stand, Alone, and the Women who did, because They had too. I've loved Toni Childs, Voice from the first time I heard this Song. 💙🌊
That's rubbish start to finish.
Strong voice, has a unique sound.
That's is so true
Wow! What a voice!

And an even better message

To my previous comment below not ubove. 😂
Ìs Tony Childs Jew ?
I don't think so. I believe she was channeling Hedda Nusbaum and the visuals are a perfect homage to a woman destroyed by Joel Steinberg. Poor Lisa & Hedda never had a chance living with that monster.
