“Walkin’ Around”

Tick-tock as the clock goes round
Well, it’s staring at you- could you figure it out?
I know that the seasons change
So why do I seem to feel the same?
I got up and I walked into town
The sun was shining on the frozen ground
Well I’d like to stay and play a while
But my legs are moving- I won’t even try

I’m taking a walk in my own rain
You’re taking a walk down wind
I thought you could look back the other way
Or turn right back around

I look up and I look back down
I see a funny little man who spins the world around
He’s three feet tall with a stick in his hand
When he smiles he laughs: “It was part of the plan”
I walk up to where the grass is green
A little bird tells me all about just what he’s seen
He flies away singing a song
When a voice calls me before I move along

I’m taking a walk in my own rain
You’re taking a walk down wind
I thought you could look back the other way
Or turn right back around
Turn right back around

Well I was thinking that I would touch the sky
And spread the sunshine all around-
I can open up these clouds
I’ve been crazy for a couple days
But with the sunshine all around
I feel open to a new kind of day

I’ve been working on a little thing
If it grows, it might grow and whisk the world away
But I’ll keep on walking up and down this street
And I’ll wait for the man to step in front of me

I’m taking a walk in my own rain
You’re taking a walk down wind
I thought you could look back the other way
Or turn right back around
I’m taking a walk in my own rain
You’re taking a walk down wind
I thought you could at least look the other way
Or turn right back around
Turn right back around

How could I forget that day?
How could forget that day?
How could I forget that day?
When we went walking around…
How could I forget that day?
How could I forget that day?
How could I forget that day?
When we went walking,
We went walkin’ around
