Today on't phone to that Manchester lass
Broad, vocal, happy laughter filled the air
Her resonant conversation filled the moment
Void of anything except innocence
Happy asking directions to deepest Devon
Lad you see I think it is the simple things

Lately we've been forgetting
Later perhaps regretting
Though sometimes not even that
