Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Walking Song lyrics

Wouldn't it be nice to walk together Baring our souls while wearing out the leather We could talk shop, harmonize a song Wouldn't it be nice to walk along I'll show you houses of architectural renown Some are still standing, some have fallen down Farm houses buried under Canada's snow Spanish villas on the Boulevards of Mexico And I'll learn to tell the ash from the oak And if you don't know I won't make no joke We'll climb to the top to view the world from above Or carve our initials in the trunk like teenagers in love And when we get hungry we'll stop to eat Gotta think of our stomachs and rest our feet If we get thirsty we'll have a drink or two In a mountain top bar with a mountain top view And when we get tired we'll stop to rest And if you still want to talk you can bare your breast If it's winter and cold we'll take a rooming-house room If it's summer and warm we'll sleep under the moon And we'll talk about the sports we played 'Bout the time you got busted or the time I got laid We'll talk blood and how we were bred Talk about the folks both living and dead This song like this walk I find hard to end Be my lover or be my friend In sneakers or boots or regulation shoes Walking beside you I'll never get the walking blues
