lyrics

“Trying To Remember What Evelyn Said”
©️1998Heisner,BMI

There’s a man on the corner
Who’s hailing a taxi-cab
He’s handsome and humble
And running from grey to drab

And his mind wanders after his faraway eyes
And he talks to himself, but he seldom replies

Chorus:
He pulls at his memory
And scratches his head
Trying to remember what Evelyn said
Just the words of a ghost
In a book he once read
Trying to remember what Evelyn said

There is change in his pocket
He fingers impatiently
Strong and ambitious
Success is his pedigree

And he’s miles out in front of the rest of the pack
But he’s constantly checking for knives in his back

(Repeat Chorus)

There’s a newspaper under his arm
That he never reads
The rush hour blur
Breeds a sense of transparency

Sees his fading reflection in shop window glass
But without recognition he watches it pass

(Repeat Chorus)
