When the sun comes rising up
On a brand new day

When shooting stars score the sky
And quickly fade away

When lark ascends in the fields
Flying high and free

When robin sings his little song...
Spare a thought for me


When the oak in springtime rain
Wakens from the dead

When the sun behind the wood
Glows a winter red

When starlings race and fall to roost
Then chatter in the cover

Think of me even if...
Your hand is in another
"Phew,
it's ******* hot under this grill."

"You're not wrong, Cecil.
I just hope after we've been burnt alive,
we get to cool down with some
ketchup or brown sauce."

"Tarquin, we're ******.
The fat ***** cooking us will
just wolf us down."

"Well, I, for one,
aim to give her the worst
upset stomach she's ever had."

"Oh God,
here comes her podgy fingers!
Its been nice knowing you, Tarquin."

"Bon voyage, my friend!"
It's been seven long months since I kissed your lips
yet still I feel the pain
every day I reminisce
once more, then twice again

I know we were not meant to be
I know you did me wrong
yet deep inside this heart of mine
I'll always play our song

until we met, I never felt
the joy I felt with you
I never smiled with intent
in a life that was oh so blue

when we made love, the stars did shine
heaven's angels danced with glee
my wanting love was satisfied
I was as happy as could be

alas, the sun soon lost its warmth
cold winds and rains prevailed
and the dream I had dreamt for all my life
had crashed and burned and failed

I now find it very hard to cope
I guess you've long since moved on from this
but my heart still plays our loving song
and my lips still miss your lips

How many mountains must I climb
To catch a glimpse of sunrise.
How many boulders must I move
To clear a path to my doorway.
And how many rivers must I ford
To leave this gloom behind me.
