As I Walk - Mike Farris

Daddy’s gone away in the equinox of summertime

And all I see is a haze of things to come

And mama she is dancing with a candle in her hand

Cause she knows that I, I’ve got to come home

These times aren’t easily forgotten, oh, no…

As I walk I wear the sun upon my face

It’s true I don’t worry much about time or place

I’ve got some memories in my pocket that I never look at

Besides, you never called and I’m cool with that

In my own peculiar way

May be yesterday was just what I need to show me the way

Where I could be like you and just close my eyes and run

Little brother, he’s asking, if he is old enough to die

Because he’s done his time

As I walk I wear the sun upon my face

It’s true I don’t worry much about time or place

I’ve got some memories in my pocket that I never look at

Besides, you never called and I’m cool with that

In my own peculiar way

Daddy’s gone away

But now he’s living with the unforgiven

I can feel it his battle’s just begun

He drinks black coffee ___

Spends his day out on the run

I wish I could tell him how much I pray

Each and every day he’d come back

But in a way

I walk I wear the sun upon my face

It’s true I don’t worry much about time or place

I’ve got some memories in my pocket that I never look at

Besides, you never called and I’m cool with that

In my own peculiar way
