Simeon Ball - Urban fairytale

I heard your words have roots
They grasp me when they're spoken
It's like I've concrete in my boots or worse
I've no way to provoke them
I walk these streets every morning time
I even know which cats scowl
I see beauty in the grime, be calm
Be calm when the dogs growl
Trying hard, driving on, fight for every day
But you're telling me it's high time we tried a different way
Tripping over obstacles which aren't even there
And when you're paying for the privilege
Why would you care
I climb the hills to get a better view
It's cold but it's clear
I took the portraits I painted of you
But they're no good my dear
I walk these street every evening time
Throw flowers at the street lamps
I sing the tunes that the church bells chime
Fell at home with the street tramps
Pushing hard, clinging on, through cold nights and days
But you're telling me it's high time we went our separate ways
Tripping over poltergeist that aren't even there
And when you're paying for the privilege
Why would you care
