walkin'around downtown you might meet an old lover...
lyrics
I take my time while I m walking around
And I pray for a better day
I get some smokes and turning around
I’m surprised when I see your face
You ask me how long I’ve been back in town
So I say just a couple of days
You give me a cold hug You lift your arms
Then I see you walking away
You’ve been mine a thousand times
But I made your world fall down
Up and down we cruised in town
I was blind now you’re gone away
I get a coffee then I look down
Two big eyes are pointing my way
A little boy is playing on the ground
With a smile that lights up my day
He walks on by his shoes are untied
Then he waves and fallows his friend
I take a deep breath and I calm down
‘cause this boy’s shown me nothing but grace
And I thought
If you were still mine we could have a child
We could get a car and a place to stay
But I’m in town walking around
Up and down trying to fix my days
I get my change take a sip from my glass
I’m ok but I feel kinda strange
I look around while I’m burning my tongue
I think Hey I’d better walk away
I say to myself I know a park in this town
I can go there it’s a beautiful place
I cross the street people driving around
They don’t care ‘bout the sunny day
One more block and I’ll be lying on the ground
I’ll find a spot to get some sun on my face
But I walk in and people are screaming loud
So I guess there’s no pace for today
I’m thinking
If you were still mine we’d have the time
To get bikes and ride’em there
Up and down the park in town
But I was blind so you’ve gone away
