And ten years on
I hear that song
As if yesterday was today
There, down The Strand
With your voice firmly in command
Your beauty at sway, there as if to say
On Cartworth Moor, as a lad
Away from places poor
In cricket whites
With disco lights
A time I was so sure
Yet to endure, the end of a romance
As Christmas came apart from love
To be told, no more; o broken heart
You were a broken boy that day
That day, just as any other
On Cartworth Moor, as a dad
Away from traces dour
With afternoon sights
Of clover so bright
This time I wasn’t so sure
Yet to the lure, of ones mum
And ones wider family drum
To be told how good you are
Even from distances far
That day, just as any other
