Scattered Black and Whites |
| Been climbing trees I’ve skinned my knees |
| My hands are black the sun is going down |
| She scruffs my hair in the kitchen steam |
| She’s listening to the dream I weaved today |
| Crosswords through the bathroom door |
| While someone sings the theme tune to the news |
| And my sister buzzes through the room leaving perfume in the air |
| And that’s what triggered this |
| I come back here from time to time |
| I shelter here somedays |
| A high-back chair, he sits and stares |
| A thousand yards and whistles marching-band |
| Kneeling by and speaking up He reaches out and I take a massive hand |
| Disjointed tales that flit between |
| Short trousers and a full dress uniform |
| And he talks of people ten years gone |
| Like I’ve known them all my life |
| Like scattered black & whites |
| I come back here from time to time |
| I shelter here somedays |
| I come back here from time to time |
| I shelter here somedays |
