Lyrics
The Walker Outside
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I am under the sky,
I'm the one passing by,
You don't hear me or see me.
I'm a flicker of night.
But your sleep is uneasy
'Cause I'm walking outside.
My home's on my back,
My bed's in my pack.
Oh you cozy quilt sleepers,
Your mattress is wide,
But your sleep is uneasy
'Cause I'm walking outside.
I am thin and athirst
To the depths of my soul,
To the depths of my soul,
But my brain it can reach you,
And my hands they can touch you,
And my fingers are cold.
I am under the sky,
I'm the one passing by,
You don't hear me or see me.
I'm a flicker of night.
But your sleep is uneasy
'Cause I'm walking outside.
