Davey walked a mile
then walked another four
sun about to rise
whats it all about
trees a growin leaves
grass green on the verge
markin centre lines
for the street cars
Davey walked nother mile
whats he doin that for
baby back home
happy momma
streets cars are wild
driven centre line blind
on the way home
speed a way home
they found Davey dead
clear road ahead
no more centre line
on the speed a way

A fine write d a. Some people don't observe the rule on country lanes with no pavements, of facing oncoming traffic when walking.
This chap was employed to paint the centre line but met with a driver driving recklessly.
Another waste
Great tribute DA
what a ridiculous and unnecessary tragedy... apart from everything else, I can't get Manfred Mann's song "Davy's on the road again" out of my head..... Neville
Tragic indeed, and after reading the comments a real tragedy.
Your word- picture of early morning and road painter Davey doing his work brings home the dangers of jobs near wild drivers and the poor man who will paint no more. A powerful message behind your lines D.A.
Moving write d a, some people just do not drive in a watchful way, their lives appear to be too busy to care.
