When you asked me if I've ever been in love
I said sometimes I'm a chicken and sometimes I'm a duck
Sometimes I go fishing and sometimes I'm a fish
Sometimes I make a promise and sometimes I make a wish
In the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening
Questions come and questions go like waters ebb and waters flow
The flowers on the fruit trees show that silence is a place to go
Then silence comes and silence goes in any garden it can grow
In places you think no one knows where no one comes and no one goes
In the morning, in the afternoon
You asked me where I go at night
I said I go off in the woods so I can stay out of the light
You asked about the clouds up in the sky
I said faces come and go in the corners of your eyes
If you look up you can see them floating by
Questions come and questions go like waters ebb and waters flow
I've heard your stories and your songs I think it's time you move along
I've met quite a few like you who say things that might not be true
So take it with you with your shoes
In the morning when you move along
In the evening when you're gone
