Thank You For..., lyric by Hall & Oates

from the songs album Whole Oates

Thank you for walking
Thank you for spending one day,
With a stranger

Good morning. hello! choose a color, carnation
We'll walk along.

Down round the pond, up the hill bricks and steeples
It's not all gone... i recall

Thank you for walking
Thank you for spending one day,
With a stranger

Thank you for talking
And showing the way to a stranger

Wining and dining (what a september)
From bags by the river ( i should've worn a sweater)
A sun, sail, song (it's cooler up here)

We sat on a wall (oh my)
Rest our feet (just a little longer)
Touch our noses

Then slow poke on... oh, i recall

One red carnation
The color for april
And apples
And wine

I suppose it was white... but i needed the rhyme.

As i packed up to leave oh, i noticed the fountain,
The statue's hand.

There in her bronzed, moistened, palm
Red carnation
Without you there... i recall
