letra de some change - austin wintory

Loading...

[verse 1]
it was that part of winter
where it’s dark in the days
and the cold wants to catch you
and burn off your face

[verse 2]
thank god i was nearing
my favorite cafe
hot coffee! yes please!
there’s a man in my way

[verse 3]
i have no idea
if i’d seen him before
you get more attention
when you’re blocking the door

[verse 4]
his hands and face dirty
he might have been lame
as i nudged past him
i thought, “that’s a shame”

[verse 5]
and when i came out
i was quick to avoid
still he said: “some change sir?”
i was slightly annoyed
[verse 6]
again the next day
my cafe thus blockaded
i uttered a sigh
and then deftly evaded

[verse 7]
the third time he was there
i thought “fine! you win!”
i aimed at his jar
several coins i threw in

[verse 8]
but right at that moment
a truck blared its h-rn
he looked up to see it
and much to my scorn

[verse 9]
he missed my good gesture
i wanted to say
or give him more money
then i thought “no way”

[verse 10]
he can think me an assh0l-
the h-ll do i care?
emotional blackmail?
ho-ho-ho, you’re not taking me there!
[verse 11]
whilst marching away then
i found me some clarity
to stop this stuff happening
they should set up a charity!

[verse 12]
the next time i arrived with
big headphones on head
i was lost in my tunes
could not hear what he said

[verse 13]
i was proud of my acting
finally all this could stop
i had found my technique
i just needed a prop

[verse 14]
“yet another triumph!”
should have been the next chapter
but oh no i forgot
that d-mned lightning adapter!

[verse 15]
think quick! cross the road!
sidle out of his way!
‘course he saw me
and said “so, no music today?”
[verse 16]
that’s all that he said
didn’t ask for a dime
so i commended myself
for winning this time

[verse 17]
when next i approached
feeling light as a fly
he was not out there lurking
i’ve no idea why

[verse 18]
i looked at his spot
and felt this weird new truth
i missed him; well like you might
miss a bad tooth

[verse 19]
the next day he was there
i knew just what to do
i said “don’t go anywhere, uh, buddy”
i’ve a treat planned for you”

[verse 20]
i emerged from the shop
with a coffee and sandwich
said: “take these my friend”
placed them into his hand which

[verse 21]
carefully laid them
on his rug on the ground
i forced an odd smile said: “good luck”
and with that i turned ‘round

[verse 22]
i walked my old route
feeling like i’d done right
i could go to sleep feeling
contented tonight

[verse 23]
just one little question
could not shake it off me
where was my “thanks”
for that sandwich and coffee?

[verse 24]
i turned back around
well i just had to see
the ungrateful partaking of gifts
bought by me!

[verse 25]
i rounded the corner
and there he was still
he was halfway through eating
and drinking my meal

[verse 26]
a young man approached
they embraced and then spoke
i stopped and i watched
as the wind nipped my cloak

[verse 27]
yes, also a beggar
but in much worse a state
my friend held what was left out
the man drank and he ate

[verse 28]
i wanted to call
“hey i’m where that snack’s from!
i’d meant for him to share it
with you all along!”

[verse 29]
but i didn’t and i hadn’t
nor did i stay
and i’ll keep to myself
the events of that day
