Songtexte: Graham Parker. Haunted Episodes.
I wonder what you are thinkin'
Under the rooftops there
Pullin' tangles from your hair
I wonder if the water you're drinkin'
Comes from a purer stream
The one where sunlight gleams
Things 'round here don't 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, that's progress that's that
I wonder who was more demanding
We were just young I guess
Neither would settle for less
Still it's not a whole life story is it
It's 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 someone's I guess
But that still won't 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
That's just the way it goes
I wonder what there is worth keepin'
From haunted episodes
That briefly woke us from sleepin'
Under the rooftops there
Pullin' tangles from your hair
I wonder if the water you're drinkin'
Comes from a purer stream
The one where sunlight gleams
Things 'round here don't 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, that's progress that's that
I wonder who was more demanding
We were just young I guess
Neither would settle for less
Still it's not a whole life story is it
It's 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 someone's I guess
But that still won't 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
That's just the way it goes
I wonder what there is worth keepin'
From haunted episodes
That briefly woke us from sleepin'
Parker, Graham
