Haunted Episodes
Graham Parker
I wonder what you are thinkin
Under the rooftops there
Pullin tangles from your hair
I wonder if the water youre drinkin
Comes from a purer stream
The one where sunlight gleams
Things round here dont get any clearer
Stuff that once seemed in reach is not any nearer
I wonder if that house is still standin or did they knock it flat
Well thats progress thats that I wonder who was more demanding
We were just young I guess neither would settle for less
Still its not a whole life story is it
Its just a page I turned and there you were in it
I wonder how you are farin not sliding down a slope
Takin the knocks I hope
I wonder where your eyes are starin
Not into some emptiness into someones I guess
But that still wont make things any clearer
People seem to drift apart instead of getting nearer
I wonder what you are doin under the evening sky
Watchin your life go by
I wonder if that place is in ruins and all the doors are closed
Thats just the way it goes
I wonder what there is worth keepin from haunted episodes
That briefly woke us from sleepin
