Stand Amazed Lyrics - Heaven And Earth - John Martyn

I do stand amazed, sitting at my front door 

How do you stand when you're sitting 

At your back door watching the world go by 

Watching the traffic one by one 

Reading the number plates just like a copper 

It just keeps passing on by 

Stand amazed, I stand amazed 

Front back sideways I'm amazed 

Just amazed, I stand amazed, 

Every single day in the kitchen doing the washing up 

I stand amazed, i just stand amazed 

(standing, standing) 

Siitting on my front porch holding my little torch just wondering why 

Sometimes I feel so bad watching traffic I start to cry 

Just like a little lame dog 

Sitting on my back porch got no torch to carry just got a little old dog 

Who don't even know my name, he don't even know my name 

(Standing) 

He don't know my name, my very own dog don't know my name 

I got a little dog, call him, stand up 

I stand amazed at the panapoly of beauty 

I stand amazed at the cops who do their duty 

Yes I do, watching the traffic one by one, got a big one, got a red one, got a fast one 

Might sit down, no, throw me a cushion, might sit down, show me a chair, I might sit down 

Watching every day, on my front porch, 

Have to move to the back, get no rest and the dog don't know me name 

All come down and watching all get up watching it all go down 

One car, a dog that doesn't know my name, tried to tell him, still don't know my name 

So i just stand amazed 

Why does my dog not know my name, I stand amazed 

Why does that person never come home, I stand amazed 

The dog that doesn't know my name, there he is, dancing, doesn't know my name 

At the front porch again, standing amazed 

Watching the world go by 

There's a copper 

Looks like people on the streets I know, there's a copper 

Stand amazed, stand amazed, the dog don't know my name.
