BUSKER WALKING: words/music - B.Pearce

 
 
See him walking down the road
Do you wonder where he's been?
Got a guitar round his back
Do you wonder what he's seen?
 
There are lines of ingrained tension
telling tales across his face
and eyes that speak of stories
being lost without a trace
 
When he sings
he shares emotion
that he trapped within each song
and the memories stir him briefly
With the next song they are gone
 
There is something strange about his way
Remote
He sits alone
Do you wonder, "Is he happy?"
as he wanders on his own
 
People try
and people worry
to be as normal as they can
But he doesn't try to be that
He is strange
this mystery man
 
See him walking down the road
Do you wonder where he's been?
Got a guitar round his back
Do you wonder what he's seen? 

It was February, 1996 - and I knew I would leave Antwerp soon for the open road. This song 'Busker walking' tries to capture both my inner thoughts and the wondering of others as I drift briefly their way.
