Gino Vannelli Lyrics
"Walter Whitman, Where Are You?"

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 awhile
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 some 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, yoy could coax a problem child
Now maybe heaven could spare you a while

Walter Whitman, where are you?
