Words:
There’s a sign upon the window
And there’s rust upon the key
And there’s dust upon the shelf
And a gaping vacancy;
And inside my aging body
There’s a little hurting mind,
And it’s lonely and it’s bitter
But it’s also very kind.

There’s a book within my mattress
And I touch it twice a week
But the title of this book
I cannot bring myself to speak.
For there’s visions and there’s beauty
Of the world I’ll never see
And I wonder, ever wonder
In a gaping vacancy.

I’ll journey home to Wessex
In a month or two or more,
And I’ll wipe the windows clean
And I’ll check the football score,
Then walk beside the river
And across the barley field
As Tennyson inside will yell
Strive and never yield!

And ever as my thoughts grow lost
I’ll fix upon that tree,
God bless that tree - that Sydney Oak
Is all I wish to see.
A piece of virtue died tonight
And yet they dance and leap,
O ancient love, press our hearts
And make mankind to weep.

These gems were never meant to die,
But due eternity.
And likewise, could I never dream
That she’d lie without me.
But there’s truth in the old sayings,
And there’s love for me to give,
And there’s a little hurting mind inside
Wishing for to live.
