Conversation Piece |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 lamp that shines above the grocers' store |
| Investigates my face so rudely |
| And my essays lying scattered on the floor |
| Fulfil 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 eyes |
