I went walking down to the water
It looks like the waters I’ve seen in my life
I stopped to take it all in for a moment
Nothing was moved but a moment in time
So I went walking back to the city
It looks like the cities I’ve seen in my life
All of the people have faces and bodies
The buildings cut through atmospheres like a knife
So I stuck my thumb out and asked him to go south
The oceans are warm and the people are too
As my salt met earth’s salt I melted into something
Bigger, yet smaller, and endlessly blue
And I met someone there who talked with me sweetly
Held me in the morning, drank coffee at noon
Yes, all of the lovers have faces and bodies
But none of them ever amounted to you
Got myself a new job and spend my days working
Serve eggs in the morning, pour beers in the evening
And nothing quite matters and nothing quite changes
The people arrive and then the people leave
And now I go walking just to do something
I don’t expect wonder, or magic, or rain
Maybe a smile with a stranger passing
And maybe one day, I’ll see that stranger again
