Lyrics The Walkmen

The Walkmen

While I Shovel the Snow

Well they say, “Can’t please everyone”

But I’m stuck on a winning streak

Well today, there’s clarity

And tonight, I see tomorrow

All at once, the winter’s here

All the lochs are frozen over

As I look in back of me

See a shape beside the walkway

Half of my life, I’ve been watching

Half of my life, I’ve been waking up

Birds in the sky could warn me

There’s no life like the slow life

So for now, I’ll take my time

For now, I can’t be bothered

But I learned a lot of things

And I fudged a lot of numbers

Once again, the winter’s here

All the lochs are frozen over

So I look in back of me

See a shape beside the walkway

Half of my life, I’ve been watching

Half of my life, I’ve been waking up

Birds in the sky could warn me

There’s no life like the slow life
