Canvas Shoe - Teleman

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
