Bristol - Herman Dune

On the bus back from Bristol we talked about death

And we talked about a friend that I'd spent some time with

Once or twice a year

We got to your house all cold and out of breath

Your child was asleep

We sat down and you offered us a beer

You said do you know what happened today

And I said no

He was family to millions

All over the evening news

But I tend to keep away from the press the TV and the radio

I like to keep my mind clean

When I can I always choose

To focus on what's here and

Not know what the world wants me to know

You said would you want some tea or another drink

And I said no

We'd had sun in Bristol and

Fun with friends in London

And an awesome time as usual on tops of hills

In Leeds

We listened to Fred Neil

It sounded dark with the loudness on

You whispered to me

People whisper when a baby sleeps

You said will you need an extra blanket

And I said no
