| The candle flickers, but never burns
|
| The planets spin, the Earth just turns
|
| Since my dearest husband
|
| Left my side
|
| The birds don’t even want the worms
|
| They probably won’t, lest he returns
|
| Since my dearest husband
|
| Left my side
|
| Everything I did before
|
| Wipe the top, and clean the floor
|
| Means so little since he
|
| Left my side
|
| And all the kisses that I gave
|
| Must have followed him to the grave
|
| Along with all the tears
|
| That I cried
|
| There were questions in Parliament
|
| Steward’s inquiries
|
| Samuel Pepys and Adrian Mole
|
| Entered into diaries
|
| And the minute of silence
|
| Was faithfully observed
|
| In all the pubs and restaurants
|
| No beer and wine was served
|
| When that stupid git, he went and died
|
| When my dearest partner left my side
|
| The postman knocks, but only once
|
| The milkman shows me no response
|
| Since my dearest husband
|
| Left my side
|
| Well, people cross me in the street
|
| When previously, they’d stop and speak
|
| Since my dearest husband
|
| Left my side
|
| Those nuisance calls nobody wants
|
| I answer them with brisk response
|
| When you’re lonely, any
|
| Voice will do
|
| The message on the answer phone
|
| The talking clock, the undertone
|
| Maybe just like me, she’s
|
| Sad and blue
|
| There were questions in Parliament
|
| Steward’s inquiries
|
| Samuel Pepys and Adrian Mole
|
| Entered into diaries
|
| And the minute of silence
|
| Was faithfully observed
|
| In all the pubs and restaurants
|
| No beer and wine was served
|
| When that stupid git, he went and died
|
| When my dearest partner left my side
|
| The paper boy, he takes good aim
|
| He knows the lonely person’s game
|
| You can’t get stuck on wrong
|
| Side of the hedge
|
| He knows my generation
|
| Cling onto conversation
|
| Like billy goat clings onto
|
| Mountain edge, edge
|
| There were questions in Parliament
|
| Steward’s inquiries
|
| Samuel Pepys and Adrian Mole
|
| Entered into diaries
|
| And the minute of silence
|
| Was faithfully observed
|
| In all the pubs and restaurants
|
| No beer and wine was served
|
| When that stupid git, he went and died
|
| When my dearest partner left my side |
