Is There A Shadow On My Bedroom Wall?

I’m not sitting by the shore of Loch Ness
but I am thinking about sitting there
as I’m sitting here playing my guitar.

I’m wondering if the Loch Ness monster
would be more likely to surface off shore
if someone playing guitar on the shore
was sitting facing away from the Loch.

Can the monster tell if you’re not looking?

Of course you wouldn’t know if the monster
surfaced behind you while you were playing.

But you wouldn’t know the monster didn’t.

I don’t really know what’s behind me now.

Is there a shadow on my bedroom wall
although there’s nothing in front of the light?

I’m not going to turn around and look.

I don’t really know what’s behind me now
and I don’t really know, too, what isn’t.

I’m not sitting by the shore of Loch Ness
but in my thinking the Loch Ness monster
has surfaced but I’m just going to play
and I’m not going to look behind me
and if the monster knows I’m not looking
maybe it knows, too, I’m playing music
and it surfaced because it likes the song.

Is there a shadow on my bedroom wall?

I’m not sitting by the shore of Loch Ness
but in my thinking the Loch Ness monster
has surfaced but I’m just going to play
and I’m not going to look behind me.
