I won't ever sit
In that quiet room again
No one knows of those times
That I sat there contented
The ten fifty-five train rolling by
In the deep cutting
Across the sedentary road
The half-staggered walk home
From the gastro-pub
After Ascot Day at York races
I follow you through your houses
Cat sitting or wallpaper hanging
A loving, rewarding relationship
Today another quiet room
I absorb the wide open country view
Through your new house's window
I feel contentment’s approach
From the Collection One Crow to a Tree - Love in Separate Houses available from Lulu
