Canvas Shoe

Falling like everyone else You don't have time to stop yourself Oh I have seen Your staircase wind, Your small grins rise, your thin legs walking through the town And one more leaf Has fallen from a chestnut tree Your four post bed, your two front teeth, your canvas shoe It's just too bad, your black French coat Can't you see Can't you see? You're still the same kid you've always been Years ago I worked it out Too many times You can't fool us now Silence drips into your house And somewhere the telephone rings on It's just my luck that you came here Your new haircut and your thin legs walking through the town Can't you see Can't you see? You're still the same kid you've always been Years ago I worked it out You wanted fame But you've lost it now Falling like everyone else You don't have time to stop yourself Oh I have seen Your staircase wind, Your small grins rise, your thin legs walking through the town
