Walking Man lyrics by James Taylor
Artist: James TaylorTitle: Walking Man
Composer: TAYLOR JAMES VERNON
===========================
Moving in silent
desperation
keeping an eye
on the Holy Land
A hypothetical
destination, say,
who is this walking man?
Well, the leaves
have come to turning
and the goose has gone to fly
And bridges are for burning,
so don't you let that
yearning pass you by
Walking man
walking man walks
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
And Pappy's come to rambling on,
stumbling around and
drunk down on the farm
And the walking man walks
He 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 weed to grow, no
So he don't hoe the row for no one
For sure one's always missing
Something ain't never quite right
Ah, but who would want
to listen to you kissing
his existence good night?
Walking man
Walks on by my door
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?
Yeah yeah, oh oh oh
Would he be free?
Golden wings against the sky
Walking man, walk on by
So long, walking man
so long
