The Way You Walk

For me to know the way you're feeling we don't even have to talk
I can tell the way you're feeling from the way you walk

When you're feeling sad and sluggish, when you've got the blues
You plod and trudge like you're in a pair of concrete shoes

When you're feeling more relaxed, when your cares all start to fade
That's when you start to saunter and promenade

When you're feeling so proud I see you sucking in your gut,
Hold your head high, stick your chest out, then you start to strut

And when you're feeling aimless, that's when you start to traipse
You meander like a windblown leaf across the landscapes

For me to know how you are feeling we don't even have to talk
I can tell the way you're feeling from the way you walk
