John Wesley Harding - Peeling Bark слова песни
Yesterday he was walking through the parkOn the way back from work it was getting darkHe saw autumn trees with their peeling barkShe was sitting on a benchHe didn`t think she`d look twice you seeBut she looked three times or so it would seemThe rain started up it began to teemAnd she was getting drenchedShe started to run but he caught up quicklyAnd he was wearing sunglasses it was hard to seeThen she hit him with a moving pleaCould I please share your umbrellaWell he just smiled and he let her inAnd they walked through the rain like Siamese twinsHe doesn`t normally pick up girls he thinks it`s a sinHe just not that sort of fellaShe told him where she lived and she told him her nameAnd he tried her patience, she tried to play gamesHe wanted to be with her though his excuse was lameI was going that way anywayHer flat in a house it was three miles outRight next to a train track and he had to shoutShe said I`m a dancer, she twirled aboutAnd asked him if he wanted to stayHis clothes were really wet he should have taken them offBut he was embarrassed cos he thought she`d laughBut then she insisted when she heard him coughShe went to make some teaAnd he was wearing just a towel to keep him warmAnd he saw that she liked Somerset MaughamShe took the Guardian so she could be better informedBut she wasn`t interested politicallyShe seemed rather nonchalantTime went fast, time came to leaveBut in that room he thought he was Adam, she was EveHe wasn`t lying and she wasn`t deceivedAnd neither knew what to sayBut everything seemed to be going down fineTil she gave him a leaving signAnd he asked her `Why?`, he said `Is the fault all mine?`She just said `No, I`ve had a bad day`So he wandered back to town in the drizzling rainAnd he wondered if he`d ever see her againHe wanted to walk with her down lover`s laneAnd it started to make him cryCos his life was turning cartwheels, all his cards were downIn the circus of existence, he always played a clownHe wanted a slice of forever as he turned into townAnd he felt her memory dieBut today he was walking through the parkOn the way back from work it was still getting darkHe saw autumn trees with their peeling barkAnd she was still sitting on that bench
