Lonely, I went a-walking, to clear my troubled head
I walked once for love and twice for life and three times for the dead
Any way you spin it, he was beat right out of shape
He looked fine if you saw him from the outside, but his heart would always ache
I've longed for you for twenty days, and twenty thousand more
And I pray with shoulders falling low
And I've wondered if your tired heart can bear my bleeding head
And if heaven has a path for me to tread
Just to add addiction, there's a woman on the way
She took a gentle kiss from his tired lips and stole his gold away
And at every ripening flower, I will steal your heart anew
From the morning sun to the western edge, and blindly over soon
And I've longed for you for twenty days, and twenty thousand more
And I pray with shoulders falling low
And I wondered if your tired heart can bear my bleeding head
And if heaven has a path for me to tread
Take your breath, won't you, stranger, 'cause you damn near lost your shoes
Pandemonium, oh I can fix that sole, but you're gonna have to choose
Trust the road you're walking, and it'll be that way for life
Have another look at a roaring brook and stay for losing twice
And I've longed for you for twenty days, and twenty thousand more
And I pray with shoulders falling low
And I've dreamed that if I ever could follow where you led
Is it any bit of heaven round the bend
Any bit of heaven round the bend
