I Was Walking Here – Friday 16th March 2001

I Was Walking Here

I was walking here
with the strangers and the fear 
i was pulling you near
with false hope 
and plenty of tears

i was walking here
barefoot and careful 
longing, and king of hopeful 
i was changing the lines 
because you had heard them,
too many times

i was walking here 
did not know where,
not sure that i care
holding down a feeling 
that you are trying to share 
i wish it was clear
through the strangeness and the fear
i was walking here
