Richard Walters
Walk Softly Stranger
[Verse 1]
Walk with heavy step
Under the branches overhead
Now we are coat in night
These sodium lights
The start of something

[Verse 2]
Close your tired eyes
Or bring them back from desert sky
Sing for the avenues
And vacant rooms
The song of morning

[Verse 3]
Talk of now and then
Or wrap it up in spring again
Fill in the leaves and lines
The winter time
The end of nothing

[Chorus]
All scattered back
Tired and worn out
Raw and burnt out
Go put yourself into the night
Go put yourself into the night
Walk softly stranger
[Verse 4]
Tender from the start
Now there is time that beats a heart
And as it moves for you
All red and blue
It wants for nothing

[Verse 5]
Move your heavy feet
Down every path and empty street
Now you are soaked in light
The blinking lights
The start of something

[Chorus]
All scattered back
Tired and worn out
Raw and burnt out
Go put yourself into the night
Go put yourself into the night
Walk softly stranger

[Chorus]
All scattered back
Tired and worn out
Raw and burnt out
Go put yourself into the night
Go put yourself into the night
Walk softly stranger
Go put yourself into the night
Go put yourself into the night
Walk softly stranger
Stranger
Stranger
Stranger
