| Lyrics: | 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
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-huh, h...uh,
huh
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 |
