Walter Whitman Where Are You Lyrics - Gino Vannelli

Walter Whitman where are you 

Among the stars or, in the earth beneath my shoe 

It's just cause I'm wondering 

Could you walk with me a mile 

And maybe heaven could spare you awhile 

Walter Whitman, I confess 

My faith is shaken 

And my life's a holy mess 

Yes, I need deliverance 

But I'd settle for a smile 

Now maybe heaven can spare you awhile 

I thought I heard you yawpin' from the yonder tree 

I swore I heard you say 

"Don't worry boy, shut up, enjoy, be free" 

Walter Whitman, I declare 

I could sing songs of joy 

Through my darkness and despair 

It's just I'm hoping 

You could shed a little light 

That is if heaven can spare you tonight 

Don't worry boy, shut up, enjoy, be free 

Walter Whitman, I declare 

I could sing songs of joy 

Through my darkness and despair 

It's just I'm hoping 

You could coax a problem child 

Now maybe heaven could spare you awhile 

Walter Whitman where are you?
