Security guard sitting alone bank holiday, the nights soon gone, he sits & waits to hear the phone but nobody, thinks, he's on his own Son & daughter far away growing up, while he's growing grey, soon to decide which way to go their love hidden, unable to show The last few years haven't been sweet, Raynham, Vancouver, Sidney St, roots torn up, hearts torn out no wonder the only answer is a shout One day soon, my little Rose may forgive, and let her loved ones begin to live, instead of living the American Dream as the second Miss Watts, she'll gleam or scream

'bank holiday blues' - by my grandfather, mid 80s
Security guard sitting alone bank holiday, the nights soon gone, he sits & waits to hear the phone but nobody, thinks, he's on his own Son & daughter far away growing up, while he's growing grey, soon to decide which way to go their love hidden, unable to show The last few years haven't been sweet, Raynham, Vancouver, Sidney St, roots torn up, hearts torn out no wonder the only answer is a shout One day soon, my little Rose may forgive, and let her loved ones begin to live, instead of living the American Dream as the second Miss Watts, she'll gleam or scream
