I've been Out Walking - Tim Buckley

Hey I’ve been out walking, ain’t done too much talking these days

Ah Lord I sit alone and weep all the time to hesitate

Ah now darling don’t you cry

I’m just waiting for the sun to shine

Ain’t got no heart to sell you

Ain’t got no time to tell you

All the answers you came to hear

I just came down from the mountain

And now you know me when I was just a child in your heart

I been waiting so long to say it

I been losing but I been choosing

I’ve been living on borrowed time

Trying to pay back the debts I owe you

Ah but I never show you why the river could be a woman

Why the sky will ever open

I just want to be here tonight love

I wanna take myself a plane back home

I got a sweet little woman oh but I’m gone now

And I wonder what my little darling does for love

She’s walking all alone and here I’m trying to get back home

Hey tell me is there a sadder place to be right now

Ah but now I could here those mountains ringing all around me

I feel it won’t take too long to get through it and sing a song

Ah but I don’t know if my love can last, oh no

You know I just came in on the rail

Ah damn to keep me another shirt tail

And I been trying to make it ever since oh love

I got a name but mama don’t you know I’m ashamed

I been out walking now I ain’t been too in much talking

Oh Lord my heart’s got too much to yield

Yes but I bring you in now darling

Remember when I was so strong how the liquor and women wore me down

I’m on my knees begging oh please

Hear the mountains ringing, hear the birds a singing

Feel the sun shine on your hands

Just smell the river flow well now

I know my love is growing hear the way the children smile

Makes you glad that you been choosing

Which time you been losing

Ah ain’t it great being alive
