Roy Walker

Like a fresh manifestation of an old phenomenon
 A breeze whips through the trees
 The rustling leaves and branches bend together
 they're cued to sway
 forever by the forces of the Lord's choreography
 Just for a second the combination of sights, sounds
 around him
 sends him hurtling back to the mirror of all of his teenager thoughts and fears
 He passes big houses and family cars
 they saddled the horses in cobblestone yards
 He catches the moon looking down from the stars
 Just like it's done for years and years
 Perpetual feeling in the grown up world that's all
 around him
 that there's secrets that could be revealed with knowledge and philosophy
 And "Oh to be dumb, Oh to be smart"
 He might be nursing a broken heart
 but feeling this way he's just playing a part
 that's been around for centuries
 I wandered all night, I wondered all night about you
 I've been here for years just wandering around the neighbourhood
