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 |
