Raymond and the Wires

My eyes have seen the trolley bus On her pneumatic tyres Vamping down the highroad Drinking from the wires My eyes have seen the trolley bus Her rivets and her wheels Sinking electricity I wonder how that feels I wonder My eyes have seen the trolley bus In 1964 I caught one with my father We climbed through the back door We couldn't sit upstairs because My father's leg was bad He spoke to me behind the glass He was a lonesome dad My eyes have seen the trolley bus The silent way she moves You miss the love you never had The needle skips the grooves I never knew my father close Although I took him in He travels 'round beside me now He goes everywhere I've been I wonder I wonder My eyes have seen the trolley bus
