Song to a Busker

from Gemma Irving by Gemma Irving

lyrics

A normal day out in the town
The music I heard slowed me down
Then I saw you standing there
With your big guitar and your long brown hair

Your voice came out so strong and true
Singing songs I thought I knew
To the people and pigeons in the square
With your big guitar and your long brown hair

Some stop to put coins in your case
A token tribute, a passing grace
Others never sensed you there
With your big guitar and your long brown hair

There is no place I'd rather be
Than sit and drink my morning coffee
And hear your singing in the air
With your big guitar and your long brown hair

Some busy shoppers passed you by
Some rainclouds appeared in the sky
You carried on without a care
With your big guitar and your long brown hair

I'm suddenly struck with urgency
I've been distracted from where I need to be
I wish I had more time to spare
For your big guitar and your long brown hair
