In the fall I was the sinner In the spring I was the saint That's no scene to fall forever And the flowers bloom to late And the way you said you loved me Wouldn't mean so much to some But "I love you"'s don't come often, at least not for everyone And I've been walking Down the soles of my shoes And I've been going out at night 'Til the hours that I choose And I don't ever ask for nothing And I get nothing in return 'Cause I've been walking Just to feel the sunlight burn The poets fill the spaces where the silence used to be And the painters show us places beyond what our eyes can see But guys like me will always write our songs of living on the run But these songs don't come too often, at least not for everyone And I've been walking Down the soles of my shoes And I've been going out at night 'Til the hours that I choose And I don't ever ask for nothing And I get nothing in return 'Cause I've been walking Just to feel the sunlight burn And there are stories that are worth telling, that you'll never hear me tell Things that I am not too proud of Things that I've not done well I wouldn't say I was a boy who became a man in that lonely place I'd say I was a man already but now with more wrinkles on his face And I've been walking Down the soles of my shoes And I've been going out at night 'Til the hours that I choose And I don't ever ask for nothing And I get nothing in return 'Cause I've been walking Oh, I've been walking Just to feel the sunlight burn
