LYRICS
Walking Man by James Taylor
Moving in silent desperation,
Keeping an eye on the Holy Land
A hypothetical destination, say
Who is this walking man?
Well, the leaves have come to turning
And the goose has gone to fly
And bridges are for burning
So don't you let that yearning pass you by
Walking man, walking man walks
Any other man stops and talks
But the walking man walks
Well the frost is on the pumpkin
And the hay is in the barn
Pappy's come to rambling on
Stumbling around drunk down on the farm
And the walking man walks
Doesn't know nothing at all
Any other man stops and talks
But the walking man walks on by, walk on by
Most everybody's got seed to sow
It ain't always easy for a weed to grow, oh no
So he don't hoe the row for no one
For sure he's always missing
And something ain't never quite right
Ah, but who would want to listen
To you kissing his existence good night?
Walking man walk
Walk on by my door
Well, any other man stops and talks
But not the walking man
He's the walking man, born to walk
Walk on walking man
Well now, would he have wings to fly?
Would he be free?
Golden wings against the sky
Walking man, walk on by
So long, walking man

I like the songs better sung live then in studio? Who agrees?
I remember when I first heard this beautiful song on his great album Walking Man It is a masterpiece!!!
Thanks JT for walking into our lives! We are better people through your beautiful soulful songs. Bless you.❤
I am a walking man...love to be in the swamps and woods..it is good medicine!
Hope you get to see Leland while he's in Mass.!
Life is so hectic, but James Taylor is one of only a handful of recording artists/singers that put me at peace almost immediately. So glad he’s been and always will be a part of my musical life. ‘Love Always’ Matthew 5:44
Well said.
Amen, brother

👍👍❤️🥰👍👍😘❤️🥰
This song has a special place in my heart
Great video. Thanks! The whole gang is there... Russ has hair :)
Saw in Knoxville recently, JT still sings as sweet 44 years later! Still signs more autographs than any performer.
Sometimes the natural vocal variations in the live performance of a song don't sound as good, but in this case, they are fantastic. Took one of my favorites and made it even better.
It's JT we're talking about 😉
that is probably my favorite J.T. LP
I DO love this man. 😘🎼🎶🎼🎶💋 Voice like no other, great entertainer.
Absolutely fantastic. Thank you James.
Arnold in all red! Nice. Is that Kooch going heavy on the slide? Leland holding down and Don on keys I think. This is a great line up.
Most everybody's got seed to sow
It ain't always easy for a weed to grow, no, no
So he don't hoe the row for no one
For sure one's always missing
And something is never quite right
Ah, but who would want to listen to you
Kissing his existence good night……..
Thank you James
Bellos tiempos sin cocain ,todo en su velocidad normal.
I'l always do ❤love you!!
One of my favorites. Thanks James.
Mine too 😊
🎵Beautiful 🎶💓
Fantastic !
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
😎✌👍❤🖖
Love Brother
Yes
Mr. Morbidezza!!! 👏👏👏🙏🖖

As usual. A beautiful song that hugs our hearts. I am not a political leader like Justin Trudeau that could make a powerful request to an artist (joke) but hopefully you could comeback to the Philippines and play those heartwarming songs to your loyal Pinoy fans. We love you James ❤.
Was there
one of the best songs ever written imao! ty james very much! I think the song is about time, it's a personification of time. please comment, I'm still trying to figure out what this song is about and that's my best guess :)
The Beatles and James Taylor: 1 and 2
Mornin'JT. I was just talking about you last night at work....stay safe hun.
Really like this song. ? Who wrote the song/mindset of.
We need more cowbell.
It's too bad that Danny, Lee and Russ weren't able to play on the original version of this. Or the whole album itself for that matter. It probably would've done better commercially if they had.
So I call upon all of JT's fans to tell poor me who this walking man is. I've wondered since the very first time I heard the words of this song, as a teenager

@@jamestaylor, aww. What a sad story! Thanks for answering. Somehow I wonder how it's possible to deal with such a heavy burden with such a lovely relaxing song... only the finest artistry can do that...
