about

A song that I wrote sitting in Balzac's on Princess St.

lyrics

People watching just isn’t the same
When all the people you watch, you can name
When the tired eyes and shuffled steps
Are stories you know and struggles you get

People watching is fun until
You stop watching empty lives refill
You can see the deflation, mindless rotation
Like a flat tire rolls downhill

It’s funny you can watch your own home
Degrade but you don’t notice till you come home
From time spent growing now you’re grown home
And notice all the faces who’ve lost their face
And names without places to place
Is it still home, home, home

People watching just isn’t the same
When you already know what’ll happen today
Mary will fill her cup up by three
And empty it all, in the Brock St. Alley

And Peter on the corner with frost bitten toes
Will play the guitar with his heart and his soul
He’ll sing of love and the blues and of decade old news
But you’ve got no change, that’s today’s excuse

It’s funny you can watch your own home
Degrade but you don’t notice till you come home
From time spent growing now you’re grown home
And notice all the faces who’ve lost their face
And names without places to place
Is it still home, home, home

Is it still home, home
