The day has just begun
And he leaves the house and walks
Walking all the time
A cap on his head, and his hands in his pockets
He passes in front of the church but he doesn't go in
He passes in front of the bar but he doesn't greet anyone
It seems a long time ago
When he had a job
And something to talk about
It seems but it isn't so
The sun is high in the sky
And there's a man in the street who walks
Walking all over town
His collar turned up, and his hands in his pockets
He passes in front of his son's house, but he doesn't go in
He passes in front of his friend's home, but he doesn't knock on the door
It seems a long time ago
When he had a life
And someone to talk with
It seems but it isn't
It seems but it isn't so
The day is almost over
And a man's walking in the breeze
He hasn't drunk or smoked
He didn't say a word, just stuffed his hands in his pockets
Some say he has lost his head, in what way they don't know
Some say he's become insane, oh it is so easy to say
It seems a long time ago
When he started to walk
And stopped speaking at all
It seems but it isn't
It seems but it isn't
It seems but it isn't so
