That Day
If I’m no longer here
Remember that day you taught me to dance The Twist
You’d appeared in a sea mist
Asked if my name was Blomquist
Told me you were a relativist
Wore your late mum’s bracelet on your left wrist
That day you taught me to dance The Twist
If I’m no longer here
Remember that day you said love sets us free
We hugged a tree then you hugged me
And after, we went home for tea
Put coloured lights on the Christmas tree
Watched the Queen’s Speech on the BBC
That day you said love sets us free
If I’m no longer here
Remember that day we promised we’d never be apart
We were looking at an exhibition of local art
And you spoke about the philosophy of René Descartes
Your new patent leather shoes, they looked so smart
And the look you gave, it squeezed my heart
That day we promised we’d never be apart
Does it rain in California?
Does coffee stunt your growth?
Do bumblebees have knobbly knees?
Do you ever dream a little dream of me?
Did Romeo love Juliet?
Is the age of innocence really dead?
Do you still knock on wood for good luck?
Do elephants try hard to forget?
Did The Beatles have a lot of hit records?
Did you get a fuzzy feeling the first time I took your
hand?
Did Elvis have a pair of blue suede shoes?
Was Picasso really good at art?
Did Andy Warhol die a virgin?
Did Albert Einstein know a thing or two about science?
Will this old world keep on spinning?
Do you remember us counting stars?
Do you still move like they do in Babylon?
Do you take the old walks alone?
Do you see what I’m trying to say?
The questions seem simple enough to me.
From The Edge
Beach clean
Hotel alright
Prices obscene
Money tight
Weather fine
Sea blue
In bed by nine
Nothing much to do
All alone
Feeling blue
Can’t wait to come home
Missing you
