Walking Man Lyrics

Lyric discussion by JBradfield 

Cover art for Walking Man lyrics by James Taylor

This was a song about the autumn. "Keeping an eye on the Holy Land. A hypothetical destiniation. Who is this walking man?"

"Any other man stops and talks". The seasons keep changing from day to day.

The season ends at the Winter Solstice. "Who would want to listen to him kissing his existence goodbye"?

Everything in this number points to the slow passing of the seasons events. "The hay is in the barn". "The goose has gone to fly". (South for the winter).

Everything in this number indicates the slow, inexorable passage of time.
