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 |
