Serendipity - John Martyn

I’ve these dreams I’m

Walking home

Home when it used to be And everything is As it was

Frozen in front of me Here I stand

6 feet small

romanticizing years ago

it’s a bitter sweet feeling hearing «Wrapped Around Your Finger"on the

radio

and these days

I wish I was 6 again

Oh make me a red cape

I wanna be Superman

Oh, if only my life was more like

all these things would be more like they were at the

start of me had it made in 83

thinking bout my brother Ben

I miss him every day

He looks just like his brother John

But on an 18 month delay

Here I stand

6 feet small

and smiling cause I’m scared as hell

kind of like my life is like a sequel to a movie

where the actor’s names have changed

oh well

well these days

I wish I was 6 again

Oh make me a red cape

I wanna be Superman

Oh, if only my life was more like

all these things would be more like they were at the

start of me If my life was more like

I’d plot a course to the source of the purest little part of me and most my memories

have escaped me or confused themselves with dreams

if heaven’s all we want it to be

send your prayers to me care of 1983

you can paint that house a rainbow of colors

rip out the floorboards

replace the shutters but

that’s my plastic in the dirt

whatever happened to my whatever happened to my whatever happened to my lunchbox

when came the day that it got

thrown away and don’t you think I should have had some say

in that decision
