In the Park
Songtext

In the chilly autumn breeze
As we walk along the path
With another summer’s season
Left there in the past
Hear the sound of crumbling leaves and
Loose gravel at our feet
In the park where dogs
Old folks and lovers meet

So, we stop there by the pond
I pretend to watch this old tree growin'
And of course, you blame me boring you
I think I should have known
Then you lay your little hand in mine
And try to keep my pace
And as you run away, sure
It’s my turn to lose the race
No, I don’t mind losing another race

Chorus:
Yes, I know
Yes, I know we’re on our way
We're busy memorizing our part today
Here we go
Yes, and sometimes it feels strange
Walking hand in hand while scenes and settings change

He must be about my age I guess
As we are passing by
See him walking there together
With his old man side by side
Makes me wonder what they talk about
As they move along
Makes me wonder will they ever hear my song

Chorus

Bridge:
We are running strong
We are moving slow
We're weary to the bone
As you go along
Clouds hanging low
May you never walk alone
