lyrics

Caravan Man

Solitary man
sitting by your caravan all day,
watching people passing through
or stopping for a longer stay.
Pulling up on the faded patch of grass opposite you,
pegging out their lives in tidy piles
the way that campers do.

You observe evening strolls,
dinner plates in plastic bowls
washed up in communal sinks
all lined up in a row.
A couple’s tensions rise,
you wave at their child
who blinks at you and smiles.
The woman with them tries to hide
private grief that swells inside.

Caravan man,
who are you waiting for?
What are you hoping for
sitting there
by your door?

Is it some lover
who promised to stop by
to renew acquaintances throughout the night?
Are you the favourite uncle
of some grande famille?
You never married
but you still enjoy la vie.

Caravan man,
who are you waiting for?
What are you hoping for
sitting there
by your door?
