|
Moving in silent desperation |
|
Keeping an eye on the holy land |
|
A hypothetical destination |
|
Say, who is this waliking man? |
|
Well, the leaves have come to turning |
|
And the goose has gone to fly |
|
And bridges are for buning |
|
So don't you let that yearning |
|
Pass you by |
|
Walking man, walking man walks |
|
Well, any other man stops and talks |
|
But the walking man walks |
|
Well the frost is on the pumpkin |
|
And the hay is in the barn |
|
An pappy's come to rambling on |
|
Stumbling around drunk |
|
Down on the farm |
|
And the walking man walks |
|
Doesn't know nothing at all |
|
Any other man stops and talks |
|
But the walking man walks on by |
|
Walk on by |
|
Most everybody's got seed to sow |
|
It ain't always easy for a weed to grow, oh no |
|
So he don't hoe the row for no one |
|
Oh for sure he's always missing |
|
And something is never quite right |
|
Ah, but who would want to listen to you |
|
Kissing his existence good night |
|
Walking man walk on by my door |
|
Well, any other man stops and talks |
|
But not the walking man |
|
He's the walking man |
|
Born to walk |
|
Walk on walking man |
|
Well now, would he have wings to fly |
|
Would he be free |
|
Golden wings against the sky |
|
Walking man, walk on by |
|
So long, walking man, so long |
