Conversation Piece

I    took this walk to ease my    mind   To find out what’s gnawing at me    Wouldn’t think to look at me   that I’ve spent a lot of time in education   It all seems so long ago   I’m a            thinker not a talker      I’ve no-one to talk to anyway   I    can’t see the road   for the    rain in my    eyes   Ahhh ahhh ah ah.   I    live above the grocers    store   owned by an    Austrian   He often calls me down to eat   And he    jokes about his broken English   tries to be a friend to me   But for all my years of reading conversation   I stand without a word to say   I   can’t see the bridge   for the rain in my eyes   Ahhh ahhh ah.   And the world is full of life   Full of folk who don’t know me   And they walk in twos or threes or more   While the light that shines above the grocers store   investigates my face so rudely   And my essays lying scattered on the floor   Fullfil their needs just by being there   And my hands shake my head hurts   my voice sticks inside my throat   I’m invisible and dumb   no-one will recall me   And I can’t see the water   through the tears in my ey-y-yes   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- variation   variation   variation   variation   ah
