Walk Amongst His Ruins |
| So many people try to analyse |
| Try to understand |
| Some people laugh and denigrate |
| Dismiss him out of hand |
| I have lived in wonder |
| At his ramblin' and his doings |
| Just for one day I’d like to walk amongst his ruins |
| Some take him seriously and never got the joke |
| And never see the truth in all the fun he pokes |
| Since I was a boy and heard the strange crooning |
| And just for one day I’d like to walk amongst his ruins |
| Painful things laid bare with a simple turn of phrase |
| Like a faithful friend you’ve never met |
| You’ve known him all your days |
| Sometimes as I drive along |
| He grates on my ears |
| Other times he catches me |
| Reduces me to tears |
| Yes I have lived in wonder at his ramblings and his doings |
| Just for one day I’d like to walk amongst his ruins |
| Such a naughty, naughty boy |
| As boys often are |
| Although he so elusive |
| He’s never very far |
| Last time I saw him I can’t remember what I was doing |
| Just recall thinking what a brilliant ruin |
