The Walking (And Constantly) - Jane Siberry

The walking and constantly

An endless stream of endless dreams

That wheel and roll just past my shoulder

The waiting and constantly

An endless shift of sifting through

The facts, the fey

You never know for sure

I was sure until they asked me

Now I don’t know

All I know is something touched me

Shadows lift my fingers

Don’t let the cold…

Every now and then things become clear

There’s nothing that will bring you back

There’s nothing that will change this fact

There’s nothing that I will take back

I know I know

This is a fact

I’m pretty sure I know

I don’t know I don’t know I…

I tell everyone a different story

That way nothing’s ever boring

Even when they turn and say you lied

Petals drifting past my shoulder

Or maybe snow — I’m cold I’m not sure

Someone yelled at me I don’t know why

If you want someone to love you

Just let me know

People pushing past me

If you want someone to love you

Then don’t just go

Every now and then things become clear

There’s nothing that will bring you back

There’s nothing that will change this fact

There’s nothing that I will take back

Your shoes you left your hat

It’s on the bed or else the chair

I don’t know I don’t know I…

Oh my darling… Oh my darling

So if you want someone to love you

Just let me know

People shouting at me

If you want someone to love you

Then don’t just go

Every now and then things become clear

There’s nothing that will bring you back

There’s nothing that will change this fact

There’s nothing that I will take back

Your shoes you left your hat

It’s on the bed or else the chair

I don’t know I don’t know I…

The walking and constantly

An endless stream of endless dreams

That wheel and roll just past my shoulder

That wheel and roll just past my shoulder…
