I wandered all night, I wondered all night about youI've been here for years just wandering around the neighbourhoodLike a fresh manifestation of an old phenomenonA breeze whips through the treesThe rustling leaves and branches bend togetherThey're cued to swayForever by the forces of the Lord's choreographyJust for a second the combination of sights, sounds around himSends him hurtling back to the mirror of all of his teenager thoughts and fearsHe passes big houses and family carsThey saddled the horses in cobblestone yardsHe catches the moon looking down from the starsJust like it's done for years and yearsPerpetual feeling in the grown up world that's all Around himThat there's secrets that could be revealed with knowledge and philosophyAnd 'Oh to be dumb, Oh to be smartHe might be nursing a broken heartBut feeling this way he's just playing a partThat's been around for centuriesI wandered all night, I wondered all night about youI've been here for years just wandering around the neighbourhood
