Walking Out

Bear Quartet · My War [2000]

For several weeks

The same useless hum

When your away

I take care of things

I read those books

And let the air in

And late the phone rings

I let it ring

The message I heard

I will erase

'Cause I know who spoke

After the beep



Now I'm walking out

I'm walking out

Now I'm walking like

I walk with you, with you



Wide off the mark

What's the point of a heart?

When it has to beat

So far from where it

Most wants to be

A life that I have not entered yet



Now I'm walking out

I'm walking out

Now I'm walking like

I walk with you, with you
