I'm strolling along the river Throwing stones in the still water Colors have come to the leaves Apples are gone in the orchards There I stand on shaking legs I don’t trust my balance Shadows are long upon the fields The birds they're growing quiet Will you shoot me where I stand & leave me where I fall There I stand beyond belief Looking in vain for solid ground Humming songs of an old dead time Words feel bad in my mouth Will you shoot me where I stand & leave me where I fall
