John Martyn - Stand Amazed lyrics

I do stand amazed, sitting at my front door
How do you stand when you're sitting
At your back door watching the world go by
Watching the traffic one by one
Reading the number plates just like a copper
It just keeps passing on by

Stand amazed, I stand amazed
Front back sideways I'm amazed

Just amazed, I stand amazed
Every single day in the kitchen
Doing the washing up
I stand amazed, I just stand amazed
(Standing, standing)
Sitting on my front porch holding my
Little torch just wondering why

Sometimes I feel so bad watching
Traffic I start to cry
Just like a little lame dog
Sitting on my back porch got no torch to
Carry just got a little old dog
Who don't even know my name
He don't even know my name (Standing)

He don't know my name
My very own dog don't know my name

I got a little dog, call him, stand up
I stand amazed at the panapoly of beauty
I stand amazed at the cops who do their duty
Yes I do, watching the traffic one by one
Got a big one, got a red one, got a fast one

Might sit down, no, throw me a cushion
Might sit down, show me a chair
I might sit down

Watching every day, on my front porch
Have to move to the back
Get no rest and the dog don't know me name
All come down and watching all get
Up watching it all go down
One car, a dog that doesn't know
My name, tried to tell him
Still don't know my name
So I just stand amazed

Why does my dog not know my name
I stand amazed
Why does that person never come home
I stand amazed the dog that doesn't know my
Name, there he is, dancing
Doesn't know my name
At the front porch again, standing amazed

Watching the world go by there's a copper
Looks like people on the streets I know
There's a copper stand amazed, stand amazed
The dog don't know my name
