The walk.



The walk.

I am moving on in life, and I am getting old. I know I can't be bought or sold. The gold ring on your hand became faded and old. Just like me, you have to set me free. Take the key and open the lock. And together, we will take that last walk. And we will go down by the docks. Then we will sit on the rocks.
