On a Street Corner

Robert Forster


It was on a street corner
In my hometown, town
That's when I first saw you
And I regret that day now, now
There was sun on that morning
As I lay in my single bed
The bed at the back of the family home
Those yellow curtains over my head
Black shoes and old jeans
A favourite shirt of faded blue, blue, blue, blue
That's what I had on
The day I first saw you, you
That's what I was wearing
The day I first saw you, you, you

And baby, tell me what childhood crime
Made you so narrow, so hard all the time
Your old lines, your harshness
Of what others should do
I did not know what hit me
When I came to know you, you, you
I did not know what hit me
When I came to know you, you

The city was beneath me then
It was glittering like a star
Throwing up its suggestions
Of who it thinks that you are
Who it thinks that you are
And what it thinks you could be
Could be, could be, could be
That's how it was
The day you walked past me, me
That's how it was
The day you passed me, me, me
And baby, tell me what is it like
To always be so narrow and always right
To carry your fury and to always lay it down
I did not know about these things in my hometown, town, town
It was on a street corner
And I regret that day now
