Conversation With a Cop

Nickey Barclay

Good morning, I suppose you’re here to issue me a warning
And to ask me what I’m doing out alone
You’re suspicious that I’m not asleep at home
Yeah, I only wish that I could tell you, but I haven’t any reason to be out when every place is dark
I’d only like to flee the light you’re shining in my face
I’ve done no wrong; I’m just looking for some place to walk my dog

Yes, only, do I have to have a license to be lonely?
It’s a warm night and I couldn’t get to sleep
Did you worry that I might disturb the peace?
Yeah, well I’m alone and all too helpless, and I thought I had the right to take a walk at any time I pleased
I never knew the night could turn a whim into a crime
I’ve done no wrong; I’m just looking for some place to walk my dog

And I wonder how it feels to be afraid of everyone you see
I wonder why you keep those nervous fingers on your gun
I’ve done no wrong; I’m just looking for some place to walk my dog
Yeah, now don’t get me wrong, I’m just looking for some place to walk my dog
