Just Look Away |
Scraping his bow |
The old violinist plays out of tune |
Blues on his fingers |
The people hurry by |
As he plays upon his corner |
Sometimes throw a coin |
And if they see the pain in his eyes |
They just look away |
Old men in the park |
Spitting at the world |
Just count the hours |
Faded flowers |
Left up on the shelf |
Trying to keep warm |
In an overcoat of memories |
Soon be dead |
Scraping for fuel |
This crazy old world is quite out of tune |
Too many trumpets |
The people hurry by |
All looking for a corner |
And if they meet a friend |
Who asks them to repay some old favour |
They just look away |
Old men in the dark |
Sitting on the world |
Play cards with words |
So absurd |
The devil’s harmony |
Each man to himself |
In a well cut suit of selfishness |
Just looks away |
