I said I got loving on my mind, Loretta
Should I shake it off and try to forget her?
She said maybe, but it's still too soon
Just walk the line, you'll see about June
If you see me walking, that's me living
The sun's in the water, there's light in the west
If you hear me crying, that's me singing
Ain't even trying to get this love off my chest
If you need a manager, I'll play Doolittle
If you want, you can play me like a fiddle
I was playing in the jailhouse, honey
You looked in, I walked out like Johnny
If you see me walking, that's me living
The sun's in the water, there's light in the west
If you hear me crying, that's me singing
Ain't even trying to get this love off my chest
I can't fight like Mooney Lynn
Can I turn out the light and let the moon shine in?
This half moon is in first quarter
You'd make a fine full moon, Miss Carter
If you see me walking your way, I'm living
When you're laughing, I can rest
I'll be singing to you, love, when you're crying
Ain't even trying to get this love off my chest
I like this poem! Glad to see you back in the poet's game.
