walked the streets today mindless of the way i argued with my feet wanted to go this way but went that way fate had me in its grip & by chance & grace both i wonder why I suddenly looked up & in your deep, deep eyes saw the Smile of all Smiles in my naked wanderings i thought i heard you whisper my name there you are soft and slumbered and cradled in her arms well i try to understand why you set me free was it love or insecurity you let me be i walk down the road, i look up at the sky now i know why now i know why reasoning has conquered me I can't and won't deny the fact my heart beats a special drummm only for you but I'm glad to be on my own i have never been this free from all suspicion and the pain grown year upon year give me space give me time don't lose yourself in any one water rushes down my back down the water runs walking in the rain then seemed beyond conception i've never been so alive so much in love with life and from the gray, gray sky fell the Tear of all Tears
