The Ballad of Reginald Harrison

[Verse] In Holland's fields he worked all day Drawing lines in shades of gray Reginald with chalk in hand A farmer tilling color’s land [Verse 2] His hidden past a darkened storm A war's shadow had him warm In uniform he did his time Now he dances in his rhyme [Chorus] Reginald oh Reginald dear Chalky hands but a past unclear Stories clash in whispers tight Two lives woven day and night [Verse 3] Neighbors speak in hushed tones low About the man they think they know Two worlds collide in twilight’s glow The chalk dust hides what he won't show [Chorus] Reginald oh Reginald dear Chalky hands but a past unclear Stories clash in whispers tight Two lives woven day and night [Bridge] Times have changed but secrets stay In Holland’s fields he tries to play Connection lost in the crook of dawn Two lives lived and both have long gone
