I took this walk to ease my mind |
|
To find out what`s gnawing at me |
|
Wouldn`t think to look at me, |
|
that I`ve spent a lot of time in education |
|
It all seems so long ago |
|
I`m a thinker, not a talker |
|
I`ve no-one to talk to, anyway |
|
|
|
I can`t see the road |
|
for the rain in my eyes |
|
Ahhh ... |
|
|
|
I live above the grocers store, |
|
owned by an Austrian |
|
He often calls me down to eat |
|
And he jokes about his broken English, |
|
tries to be a friend to me |
|
But for all my years of reading conversation, |
|
I stand without a word to say |
|
|
|
I can`t see the bridge |
|
for the rain in my eyes |
|
Ahhh... |
|
|
|
And the world is full of life |
|
Full of folk who don`t know me |
|
And they walk in twos or threes or more |
|
While the light that shines above the grocer`s store |
|
Investigates my face so rudely |
|
And my essays lying scattered on the floor |
|
Fulfill their needs just by being there |
|
And my hands shake, my head hurts, |
|
my voice sticks inside my throat |
|
I`m invisible and dumb, |
|
And no-one will recall me |
|
|
|
And I can`t see the water |
|
for the tears in my ey-y-yes |
