Walk By Me

I'm blind

My days are darker than your nights

I'm lame

My ways are longer than your miles

I'm deaf

My silence is heavier than your weight

I'm dumb

Your secrets are safe behind my sealed lips!

Don't hold my hand

When I cross the road

Just describe the land

If you have patience with this blind toad

Don't carry me any day

Across the miles

Just accompany me if you may

When I limp down the aisle

Don't try to explain

Music to me dear

Just spare me the pain

Of ridicule about my impaired ear

Don't expect a song

From me love

You'll have to wait long

For this mute's heart to beat it aloud

Watch me if you might

For my soul is full of light

Walk by me if you can

When I etch my fiberglass footprints on sand

Talk to me if you will

Your thoughts I can understand still

Listen to me if you care

For my heart, beats for you dear!
