2. Walking in the rain  [sung text not yet checked]
Walking in the rain By myself all alone, Without anybody here To notice where I go, Without any worry Over when to start home, Walking in the rain With the cool coming at me Like an old friend, softly, Like maybe a lover Whispering to me, Hush, Be still, breathe deep, Walking in the rain By myself all alone Is having all the warm world Secretly inside me All the cool while, All, all the wet way.

4. Water that falls and runs away  [sung text not yet checked]
Water that falls and runs away, You are my friend, you talk to me. Where you come from, where you go, You never tell me, though I know. What are you saying then all day, Over and down and away and away? For I do listen, my sweet friend, And will until the worlds end; Nor do I beg you to declare More than sky does, more than air, Where you come from, where you go, Which I only dream I know.

6. Merry‑go‑round  [sung text not yet checked]
Horses in front of me, Horses behind, But mine is the best one, He never looks down. He rises and falls As if there were waves, But he never goes under, Oh, music, oh, mine. He is steady and strong, And he knows I am here, He says he is glad That I picked him to ride. But he hasn't a name. I told him my own, And he only went faster, Oh, music, oh, mine. Around and around, And the people out there Don't notice how happy I am, I am. The others are too, But I am the most, The most, the most, Oh, music, oh, mine.
