lyrics

Work off on a Saturday
We borrowed your friend’s car
Drove out of the city
There’s a white cross on the highway
It’s such a pity
You said it’s such a pity

Stopped off at a Safeway
Bought a paper and petrol
Quick crossword and cryptic too
Sunflowers by the byway
I put one in my pocket
The others I wrapped for you

These and all of those things
That your company brings

Pulled up to the driveway
The fence that your dad built
The letterbox empty
As I held your hand said you’d be okay
We were just twenty
We were just twenty

Saw you by your mother’s dresser
Trying on your mother’s dress
I didn’t want to tell you didn’t want to tell you

When you’re older said your father
We’ll be gone you’ll have the farm
I wanted to tell you I wanted to tell you
