The bus was late
And forced us all to congregate -
Twenty-seven strangers made to stand and wait
The time went by
The sun went down, a baby cried
I just stood in line
But there is no queue -
No stagehand saying what to do
And you are me and I am you
The bus, it came
And everybody loaded in
Twenty-seven strangers in a moving can
The fluorescent light
Doubled everyone inside
The baby's face reflected in the shop fronts in the sky
But faces change
And rooms, they all get rearranged
And photographs all fade away
The bus broke down
At the graveyard on the edge of town
Twenty-seven strangers separate without a sound
So I walked home
Just feeling nothing on my own
Noticing that tree of yours - I've been watching it grow
So that's why I'm late -
My dearest one, what can I say?
And tomorrow it could be the same when I do it all again
