Traveller

I felt just like a traveler as I went walking up my street Every building so familiar but it's like I never seen 'em There's the same rows of houses, row on row I felt just like a stranger as I set my key in the door, and lingered Standing there on the porch Little flecks on the brick, where the paint did not stick, I never could paint in the lines I felt just like a tourist, seeing it all for the first time Like a guest Unsure of what I might find I set down my boots where he would hang up his suits And I brushed the snow from my coat, to the skin I was soaked I felt just like a traveler, my eyes open wide Like a stranger, uncertain and shy Everybody's so well meaning, everybody's been so kind Called to see if I been eating, wondered when to come by You should have called somebody You should have called somebody, before it ever came to this, oh, yeah Then you called me
