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
