Final Placement

Where will I be
When it is my time
Where will I find those rooms, rooms
I once found by being so so clandestine

The old places
Are no longer there
Or they have been changed
Beyond compare

I might be on a mountain
In a log cabin
With an outdoor veranda
For a rocking chair

The old places
Are no longer there
Or they have been changed
Beyond compare

I might be in a valley
In a mill workers house
With three narrow storeys
And pull-up stairs

The old places
Are no longer there
Or they have been changed
Beyond compare

I might be on retreat
With the Benedictine Monks
At Buckfast Abbey
Or Ampleforth

The old places
They are still there
They haven’t changed
But remained beyond compare
