Roy Walker

I wandered all night
I wondered all night about you.
I've been here for years
Just wandering around the neighborhood

Like a fresh manifestation of an old phenomenon
The breeze whips through the trees
The rustling leaves and branches bend together
They're cued to sway forever by the forces of the lord's choreography

I wandered all night
I wondered all night about you.
I've been here for years
Just wandering around the neighborhood

Just for a second the combination of sights, sounds, and random sense
I'm hurtling back to the mirror of all of his teenager thoughts and fears.
He passes big houses and family cars
They saddle the horses in cobblestone yards
He catches the moon looking down from the stars, like it's done for years and years.

I wandered all night
I wandered all night
I wondered all night about you.
I wandered all night
I wandered all night
I wondered all night, but not about you.

Perpetual feeling in the grown-up world that's around him now
There's secrets that could be revealed with knowledge and philosophy
And "Oh to be dumb, oh to be smart"
You might be missing a broken heart
But feeling this way's just playin' a part
It's been around for centuries

I wandered all night
I wondered all night about you.
I've been here for years
Just wandering around the neighborhood
I wandered all night
I wondered all night about you.
