I've Been Out Walking Lyrics
I've been out walking
The soil damp from rain
Made me think of you ben godson
Your flowers and your hens
I imagine we were talking
In summer in the yard
With this dreaming I kept walking
Through the evenings end
I was unaware of darkness
And unaware of signs
I was unaware of loneliness
Startled from a noise
I woke to my surroundings
And saw a man in front of me
I turned and slowly walked away
I knew we were the only ones here
Not one car passed us on the street
I ran and ran but soon fell weak
Oh, what will come of me, father
I was already a liar
Now i’m done for sure, it seems
I am transformed into
Rain and dirt and weeds and leaves
I am destroyed and still
Walking to the place again
The soil damp from rain
Made me think of you ben godson
Your flowers and your hens
I imagine we were talking
In summer in the yard
With this dreaming I kept walking
Through the evenings end
I was unaware of darkness
And unaware of signs
I was unaware of loneliness
Startled from a noise
And saw a man in front of me
I knew we were the only ones here
Not one car passed us on the street
I ran and ran but soon fell weak
I was already a liar
Now i’m done for sure, it seems
Rain and dirt and weeds and leaves
Walking to the place again

I can't believe I just got what this song is about. Granted, I never fully listened to the lyrics as a whole before but still. It's perfectly clear up until the end & then I realized she has become a ghost. "I am destroyed and still, Walking to the place again. Ooooooooooo".
Brilliant.
