1
I took this walk to ease my mind
2
To find out what's gnawing at me
3
And wouldn't think to look at me
4
That I've spent a lot of time in education
5
All seems so long ago
6
I'm a thinker, not a talker
7
I've no-one to talk to, anyway
8
I can't see the road
9
For the rain in my eyes
10
I live above the grocers store
11
Owned by an Austrian
12
He often calls me down to eat
13
And he jokes about his broken English
14
Tries to be a friend to me
15
But for all my years of reading conversation
16
I stand without a word to say
17
I can't see the bridge
18
For the rain in my eyes
19
And the world is full of life
20
Full of folk who don't know me
21
And they walk in twos or threes or more
22
While the light that shines above the grocer's store
23
Investigates my face so rudely
24
And my essays lying scattered on the floor
25
Fulfill their needs just by being there
26
And my hands shake, my head hurts
27
My voice sticks inside my throat
28
I'm invisible and dumb and no one will recall me
29
And I can't see the water through the tears in my eyes
