Every morning
At the same bus-stop
At the same time
The same girl
With the same boy.
Another looks on,
Yet another talks
To the one looking on
Who's not listening.
One girl, three boys.
One talks, one looks
And the other talks
To the one looking on
Who's not listening.
The same bus arrives.
Now one girl, two boys -
One looks, one talks
To the one looking on
Who's not listening.
Perhaps one day,
One girl will talk
To one boy
Who's not just looking on,
But listening.
