If You're Walking

(Anastasio)

If you’re walking
if you feel your feet moving
If you’re standing
and you’ve decided to go
If there’s nothing
Left for you to hold onto
If your paint peels and your shadows all grow

Don’t let it in your mind much,
Sell it while you can
The first time is forgotten when you land
The tops are so much better
when you hold them in your hands
Don’t let it in your mind much,
get out while you can
If you’re walking
So if you see it
The yellow eye in the distance
Or you read it
In letters on the telephone poles
If the lapping
that whispers down by the water

Starts to call you
To come and fill in the holes
Don’t let it in your mind much,
Sell it while you can
The first time is forgotten when you land
The tops are so much better
when you hold them in your hands
Don’t let it in your mind much,
get out while you can
If you’re walking
