Haunted Episodes Songtext
von Graham Parker

I wonder what you are thinkin′
Under the rooftops there
Pullin' tangles from your hair
I wonder if the water you′re drinkin'
Comes from a purer stream
The one where sunlight gleams
Things round here don't get any clearer
Stuff that once seemed in reach is not any nearer


I wonder if that house is still standin′ or did they knock it flat
Well that′s progress that's that I wonder who was more demanding
We were just young I guess neither would settle for less
Still it′s not a whole life story is it
It's just a page I turned and there you were in it

I wonder how you are farin′ not sliding down a slope
Takin' the knocks I hope
I wonder where your eyes are starin′
Not into some emptiness into someone's I guess
But that still won't make things any clearer
People seem to drift apart instead of getting nearer

I wonder what you are doin′ under the evening sky
Watchin′ your life go by
I wonder if that place is in ruins and all the doors are closed
That's just the way it goes
I wonder what there is worth keepin′ from haunted episodes
That briefly woke us from sleepin'
