Waits For No Man

Waits for no man 

  I walked through the streets 

Of a thousand towns 

But I didn’t see a smile 

In a sea of frowns 

  

And I sailed ‘cross the sea 

To a land of white 

Yet the dull grim faces 

Still didn’t look right 

  

Now I walk through the grass 

On a million graves 

Over lives so unsavoured 

In many different ways
