I loved to get up early
when my hair was short and curly
and I had a look of springtime in my eyes
I was cocky as a jaybird
though my ways were seldom wayward
and I went around a looking for surprise
I have had one though not wanted
in a carcass that is gaunted
and a walk that must be aided by a cane
If you hear a sound of tapping
why it's me as I go rapping
in the night time for a pill to ease my pain

I thought could you and I with Kings conspire
to change this sorry scheme of things, entire
Would we then want to shatter it to bits?
I don't think so, look at the lovely fits
We're done remoulding to our hearts desire
we've gathered in the wood to keep our fire
Upon the family hearth the never failing glow
of love, there's no place else we want to go

Keepsake

We walked along the shores of Tasman Sea
the pebbles shone, you gathered some for me
A pleasure shared in measure, small this bit
of life together still, I treasure it
By luck or wisdom soon it was I knew
that all I sought of love I had in you
And so thereafter you have had from me
all I could give to our fidelity

Last Drink

I hear from the imperious publican
who tends the clock and calls "time, gentlemen"
I cry "I love this place, don't want to leave"
"Sorry sir, the law, there's no reprieve"
Let's take our last drink here to celebrate
all that has come in joy and sorrow too, had best together
no cause now to weep for "might have been"
my love, my love we've tucked a great deal in
