The Beat I Walk

Power lines buzzing, ten to the dozen
Can't get it right at all
CIock says two-thirty, I think it's early
Who says that time won't crawl
You and your brother, close to each other
Your world is still so small
I'm undecided which horse I'm riding
This is the beat I walk
Living in stages, this soft parade is
Starting to wear me down
You are a beauty, I mean that truly
I am like Cathy's Clown
So unbelieving, I'm bobbing and weaving
I need to leave my mark
I'm undecided which horse I'm riding
This is the beat I walk
Coyotes are fussing, storm must be passing
I never heard it start
This book I'm reading says once more with feeling
Love with your head and heart
You and your pages of building in stages
Me and my crazy talk
I'm undecided which horse I'm riding
This is the beat I walk
God, it's so quiet, I don't feel tired yet,
Life is a pantomime
When I was twenty, the turn of the century
Rarely would cross my mind
Lips touching ankles
Fingers in tangles
We are a world apart
Still undecided which horse I'm riding
This is the beat I walk
I'm undecided which horse I'm riding
This is the beat I walk
This is the beat I walk
