Twenty Seven Strangers |
The bus was late |
And forced us all to congregate |
Twenty-seven strangers |
Made to stand and wait |
The time went by |
The sun went down |
A baby cried |
I just stood in line |
But there is no cue |
No stage hand saying what to do |
And you are me |
And I am you |
The bus it came |
And everybody loaded in |
Twenty-seven strangers |
In a moving can |
The fluorescent light |
Doubled everyone inside |
The baby’s face reflected |
In the shopfronts in the sky |
But faces change |
And rules they all get rearranged |
And photographs |
All fade away |
The bus broke down |
At the graveyard on the edge of town |
Twenty-seven strangers |
Separate without a sound |
So I walked home |
Just feeling nothing on my own |
Noticing that tree of yours |
I’ve been watching it grow |
So that’s why I’m late |
My dearest one what can I say |
And tomorrow it could be the same |
When I do it all again |
