Come Walk With Me

storybook folk-pop duet, gentle waltz pulse, acoustic guitar and accordion, brushed percussion, upright bass, handclaps entering in the chorus, playful call-and-response between warm male and female vocals, rustic close-miked production, colorful village-fair arrangement that grows into a bright communal finale

[Verse 1] You wore a tall white hat with a ribbon of gold I carried a basket and a secret to hold Down the brown path where the tall grasses lean You turned with a smile like a painted dream [Pre-Chorus] No map in your pocket, no reason to wait Two footsteps arrived at the very same gate [Chorus] Come walk with me, my dear, come walk with me Past the apple tree and the old blue sea Your yellow bonnet, my green sleeves in the sun Two little hearts making one road of one [Verse 2] Your pink dress swayed by the garden wall My dark-blue shoes made a soft little call The baker rang twice from the market square You tucked one bright flower behind my ear [Pre-Chorus] No grand declaration, no trumpet or drum Just your hand finding mine, and the day had begun [Chorus] Come walk with me, my dear, come walk with me Past the apple tree and the old blue sea Your yellow bonnet, my green sleeves in the sun Two little hearts making one road of one [Bridge] If the rain fills the lane, we will shelter below If the winter comes early, we will carry the glow Every painted horizon, every turn we can see Leaves a little more room for you walking with me [Final Chorus] Come walk with me, my dear, come walk with me Past the apple tree and the old blue sea Your yellow bonnet, my green sleeves in the sun Two little hearts making one road of one [Outro] Down the brown path, where the tall grasses lean We turn like a page in a storybook scene
