Walk In The Rain
I walked the steps of my father todayWorked till I froze and my face turned greyAnd all of my fingers calloused and worn to the boneAnd I felt like a child in a world full of menTrying to capture that something againStrong as an ox but slowly turning to stone
Walking away from this room dark and greySmoke hangs in clouds and the old echo plays
And the music is softAnd the voice it is hushedAnd the boy he has lovedAnd the man he has lost
And I walk out in the rainAll over again
I felt the touch of my mother todayGently pushing me forward againClosing my eyes but still feeling the wayAnd I'm clutching at fingers through crumples & creasesI came to my senses it cut me to pieces'Cause I needed more but I was pulling away
Walking alone with these legs made of stoneI'm almost dry and I'm almost home
Where the photographs smileAnd I'm still someone's childAnd my place it is setSo I'll stay for a while
Till I walk out in the rainLike water would stainAnd I'm born all over again
