SOLITARY WALK 121511 - SOLITARY WALK
I was in Spain, in the Pyrenees, working on THE STONE RAFT. I was the only American, read, “English speaker.” I was feeling very alone.
SOLITARY WALK Am
INTRO Am F Am F
Am (walking down) G F G
Tho I follow in the footprints of my friends
And the road I walk down has been tramped into stone
Dm
All the tears that I’ve cried will have been turned into dust
My life will pass like a shadow into the shade
La sombra, a la sombra
When the weight of the sun on my eyes
Is replaced by the cool silence of the tunnel
Like a lamb with a broken leg I will be left behind
And the cries of your new born will steal your thots from me
When I lie beneath my little cross
And your ridged wheels rattle my bones
I will trust you to leave me with peace in your hearts
For that will be the end of my world
Por esso sera el fin de me mundo
Camanate solitario…
It’s a solitary walk…..

Yesterday afternoon, I received my copy of... The Stone Raft, the English translation of a novel by Portuguese writer José Saramago, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in Literature in 1998. A Spanish-language film based on the book, La Balsa de Piedra, was released in 2002 by George Sluizer; see JMT intro above. This is a great JMT song... the lyrics of this song, represent well, the true genius JMT has with words! What absolutely great lyrics!
Dear James, thanks for sharing this song that remains me the days we spent together in Pirineos, Spain. Congrats and big hugs from the Summertime at Madrid
