I've Been Out Walking Songtext
von Tim Buckley

Hey, I′ve been out walking
Ain't done too much talking these days
Oh, Lord, I sit alone and wait for the time to hesitate
Now, darling, don′t you cry, I'm just waiting for the sun to shine
Ain't got no heart to sell you
Ain′t got no time to tell you
The answers you came to hear
I just came down from the mountains
Hey now, you know me when I was just a child in your arms
Oh, love, I′ve been waiting so long to say
I've been losing but I′ve been choosing
I've been living on borrowed time
Trying to pay back the debts I owe you
Oh, but I′ll never show you
Why the river could be a woman
Why the sky will ever open
I just wanna be here tonight, love
I don't wanna take myself a plane back home
I got a sweet little woman, oh, but I′m caught now
And I wonder what my little darling does for love


She's walking all alone and here I am trying to get back home
Yeah, tell me is there a sadder place to be right now
Oh, but now I can hear those mountains ringing all around me
I feel it won't take too long to get through it, to sing your song
Oh, but I don′t know if my love can last, oh no
You know I just came in on the rail
I damn near came in on the shirttail
And I′ve been trying to make it ever since, oh, love
I got a name, but mama, don't you know I′m ashamed
Hey, I've been out walking now
I ain′t been doing much talking
Oh, Lord, my heart's got too much to heal
Yes, but I bring you in now, darling
Remember when I was so strong
I′m on my knees
Begging again
Hear the mountain ringing
Hear the birds singing
Feel the sun shine on your hair
Just smell the river flowing
I know my love is growing
Hear the way the children smile
Makes you glad that you've been choosing
Which time you've been losing
