Lyrics

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 shе could hold that needle steady She could sеw 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 Thirty Airbus Thirty Airbus Giving it the big 'un in the Town End seats Thirty Airbus Thirty Airbus Giving it the big 'un in the Town End seats
