Slow Walking In The Sun

Slow Walking In The Sun

I saw the future and it looked like today

I saw the rainbow and the colors were gray

I went to heaven and the pearly gate was closed

I made a garden in a place where nothing grows

At the end or the beginning of the line

I just take one step at a time

I left a footprint and the wind blew it away

Till there was nothing but a bit of dust and clay

I said I love you when I knew I wouldn't stay

I made a promise to come back again one day

And she told me that's your promise, it ain't mine

I just take one step at a time

Cause tomorrow never seems to come

And yesterday is a distant drum

I take the hours one by one

Slow walking in the sun

Dusty boots, rusty nails, nowhere bound

As a hawk in the sky circles around

In the desert I've been dreaming that it rains

And that the wings of the hawk turn to flames

With the sun in my eyes for a moment I am blind

I just take one step at a time

Cause tomorrow never seems to come

And yesterday is a distant drum

I take the hours one by one

Slow walking in the sun

If you want the Gods to laugh tell them your plan

How can you figure out what you can't understand

You can have success and be a failure too

And the Gods will laugh with you

I don't look ahead nor do I look behind

I just take one step at a time

Cause tomorrow never seems to come

And yesterday is a distant drum

I take the hours one by one

By one

Slow walking in the sun
