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 fringe

Can't you see
Can't you see?
You're still the same kid you've always been
And 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
