[00:08.06]I took this walk to ease my mind
[00:14.43]To find out what`s gnawing at me
[00:18.52]Wouldn`t think to look at me
[00:25.31]that I`ve spent a lot of time in education
[00:30.97]It all seems so long ago
[00:37.37]I`m a thinker, not a talker
[00:43.39]I`ve no-one to talk to, anyway
[00:46.34]I can`t see the road
[00:49.38]for the rain in my eyes
[00:57.00]Ahhh ...
[01:03.92]I live above the grocers store,
[01:10.03]owned by an Austrian
[01:13.49]He often calls me down to eat
[01:21.19]And he jokes about his broken English
[01:25.85]tries to be a friend to me
[01:33.78]But for all my years of reading conversation
[01:38.48]I stand without a word to say
[01:42.39]I can`t see the bridge
[01:45.40]for the rain in my eyes
[01:53.15]Ahhh...
[02:00.19]And the world is full of life
[02:06.35]Full of folk who don`t know me
[02:10.15]And they walk in twos or threes or more
[02:17.51]While the light that shines above the grocer`s store
[02:21.27]Investigates my face so rudely
[02:28.94]And my essays lying scattered on the floor
[02:34.81]Fulfill their needs just by being there
[02:37.72]And my hands shake, my head hurts,
[02:40.38]my voice sticks inside my throat
[02:43.16]I`m invisible and dumb
[02:45.43]And no-one will recall me
[02:49.01]And I can`t see the water
[02:54.06]through the tears in my ey-y-yes
