Q&A
Roy Walker Lyrics
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 neighborhood
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
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
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 wondered all night about you
I’ve been here for years
Just wandering around the neighborhood
