Roy Walker Lyrics - Dear Catastrophe Waitress - Belle And Sebastian

Like a fresh manifestation of an old phenomenon 

A 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 

Just for a second the combination of sights, sounds 

around him 

sends him hurtling back to the mirror of all of his teenager thoughts and fears 

He passes big houses and family cars 

they saddled the horses in cobblestone yards 

He catches the moon looking down from the stars 

Just like it's done for years and years 

Perpetual feeling in the grown up world that's all 

around him 

that there's secrets that could be revealed with knowledge and philosophy 

And "Oh to be dumb, Oh to be smart" 

He might be nursing a broken heart 

but feeling this way he's just playing a part 

that's been around for centuries
