One thing I’ve always known
You will grow old
Let me walk with you tonight
My shoes are worn down
And I can feel the ground
Let me walk with you tonight
And if your hands should freeze, dear
Let 'em freeze in mine
And if your eyes should close, dear
Let me be your guide
When summer comes again
Don’t know where I’ll be then
Let me walk with you tonight
We’ll walk the railroad tracks
The city at our backs
Let me walk with you tonight
And if the moon should burn, dear
Stand here in my shadow
The path is not too long, dear
But rather terribly narrow
So come along with me
We got all day to sleep
Let me walk with you tonight
The wind is dying down
Our steps the only sound
Let me walk with you tonight
And if the beasts should hunt us
You, my dear, they will not find
I was put here to protect you
With this here rusted knife
Let me walk with you tonight
Let me walk with you tonight
