"Walking As Two" lyrics - LITTLE FEAT

Born out of dust
It runs through my veins
Not enough summer water
To wash it away

While you breath in air
Blown through the rain
Polished and perfect
Timid and tame

Blackness breaks
At dawns arise
Tears that cry through
Melancholy eyes

Eyes to the ground
Kicking at stones
A heart held in limbo
Searching for home

Held to the path so simple and pure
Memories locked in a chest to endure
This life that gives us
Each day something new
Keeps us moving
Walking as two

Hollow sounds beat'n
The drum in rhyme
The swirl of leaves
Ticking off time
Days into years as were
Passing on through
In a parallel image
Were walking as two

Eastern road opens up like a dream
Revealing its secrets 'til now unseen
The river will change each and everyday
Sometimes its just the world that gets in the way

The watch in my pocket
Keeps the time at bay
The moments and friends]
Slipping away
A simple enough task
When your not stuck with knives
Pickup where you leave off
Get on with your lives

Held to the path so simple and pure
Memories locked in a chest to endure
This life that gives us
Each day something new
Keeps us moving
Walking as two

Walking as two
