Walter Whitman Where Are You

(album: Yonder Tree - 1995)

Walter Whitman where are you
Among the stars or, in the earth beneath my shoe
It's just 'cause I'm wondering
Could you walk with me awhile
And maybe heaven could spare you awhile

Walter Whitman I confess
My faith is shaken
And my life's a holy mess
Yes, I need deliverance
But I'd settle for a smile
Now maybe heaven can spare you awhile

I thought I heard you yawping from the yonder tree
I swore I heard you say
"Don't worry boy, shut up, enjoy, be free"

Walter Whitman I declare
I could sing songs of joy
Through my darkness and despair
It's just I'm hoping
You could shed some light
That is if heaven can spare you tonight

"Don't worry boy, shut up, enjoy, be free"

Walter Whitman I declare
I could sing songs of joy
Through my darkness and despair
It's just I'm hoping
You could coax a problem child
Now maybe heaven could spare you a while

Walter Whitman where are you?
