The days she feared are here
The easy years are gone
His 'best before' draws near
And warning lights are on
Effort is tiring
But then again
Just for enquiring
She'll get a free Parker pen
The surgery leaflets
Offer advice
But there's no preparation
For losing him twice
And now he's washed and dressed and ready
To keep him safe she'll face the hurt
And if she could hold that needle steady
She could sew his name into his shirt
Apart, adrift, alone
Afraid of what's ahead
She'll be the evil nurse
And he'll be underfed
Conduct report
Bound to be mixed
"Lashed out during bingo"
"Said the quiz night was fixed"
Occasional sunshine
Where clarity reigns
And memories are mutual
And we're back in the lanes
Jeanette MacDonald had Nelson Eddy
And Bobby Darin had 'Mack the Knife'
And she had him to hold her steady
Ah sweet mystery of life
At last I've found you!

Giving it the big 'un in the Town End seats
