Here I sit watching the day out
|
No-one beside me who may doubt
|
All of the words that I could chose to say
|
So listen, believe, or be gone from this day
|
I need a friend to walk with me
|
And sit in the shade of an old tree
|
To think nothing much, just agree with my thoughts
|
To say nothing much, never tell what I ought
|
Watching the people pass by now
|
They just don't know why or know how
|
They don't seem to care about all that I've seen
|
They just walk on by never knowing I've been
|
Sitting up here where I'm wind blown
|
Only to ask and to be shown
|
Things that would make you believe what I say
|
I'll tell you myself and I'll show you some day
|
