shut off the t.v. and peel off those sunday gloves, and ill stain the clean that youve been counting, old mr. fletcher passed by here today, after 40 years of toil he just stood up and walked away, fantastic the panic that showed in his eyes, he shrugged when i asked him about it, he said "young man pay heed, you listen well to what i say, now there comes a time for a man to walk away", walk away, ill be a parade, and ill be determined that no one shall dissuade on my way, ill sure take some time to burn all the bridges that im leaving behind, he passed by again and he was shivering from the cold, im not sure but i think that he was trying, he told me about the weather and something old to pay, "but tomorrow", he said, "im gonna surely walk away"
