lyrics

I say with no regretting that I do not fear sun up,
Or the raining, should the clouds decide to show.
A damn fine day for walking, towards the woman that I love.
That’s a morning that I cannot wait to know.

Sleeping under headlines of another hungry day;
A night I did not think I’d ever know.
But now I’ve got some money and a girl two weeks away.
That’s a long way and I cannot wait to go.

The route, I need not think too hard about which one I take,
Or of her broken heart I left to roam.
Instead I’ll dream about the memories that I hope to make.
She’s the last dream that I’ll ever chase alone.

I say without a stumble in my voice that I’m not afraid,
Even though it’s been so long since I’ve been home.
When my walking’s done I only hope she lets me stay.
That’s a morning that I cannot wait to know.
