Adrift and Dumfounded |
He stands at the crossroads of New St. and Old Town |
Gerald Something from good-home-on-sea |
Thinking back to the child that he once was |
All bread and butter and jam for his tea |
Men came and went in his moments of madness |
Muttered apologies, late for a meeting |
Too much intensity too much feigned sadness |
Crestfallen, hangdog, glances too fleeting |
He was your golden boy, he’s adrift and dumfounded |
With nowhere to go, no appointments to keep |
He’s our little man, he’s adrift and dumfounded |
Head on hard pillow, waiting for sleep |
Broken societies, selfish, uncaring |
Addled brains clutching at chemicals soothing |
Desperate measures, desperately tearing |
At last vestige of dignity, his for the losing |
He was your golden boy, he’s adrift and dumfounded |
With nowhere to go, no appointments to keep |
He’s our little man, he’s adrift and dumfounded |
Head on hard pillow, waiting for sleep |
