Maria Daines ~ Firebreak

’Firebreak’ Have you heard from her lately I know she was your homeland Hard to understand But you’re a good man I know your memory fails And grinds you down But you’re strong enough, strong enough To fight it out Still got more love to give Hard, getting old and frail Wake up, wake up and live It’s difficult, beyond the pale Why don’t you send a card Words to reach a wild heart Something she can touch And treasure, a work of art I know you’ve done your best You’ve lost and lost and lost And the closest know and love you, still Got our fingers crossed Not over the hill, you’re still the boss Don’t give up, it’s a bitter pill You’re kind, even when you’re drunk You done it all and then some, my love They pick on you cos they’re crazy, crazy and dumb But they ain’t you and they ain’t done what you done I know your memory fails And grinds you down But you’re strong enough, strong enough To fight it out Keep punching above your weight Don’t listen to the hate You got more than they can bear On your broken plate And it’s never too late, you know it’s never too late Never, never, never, never too late Don’t worry, don’t agitate, don’t get in a state We’re here for you We’re the firebreak Never too late, we’re the firebreak Don’t worry, don’t agitate, oh don’t get in a state We’re here for you We’re the firebreak © Maria Daines/Paul Killington 11th March 2023 Our thanks to the great photographers at Pexels & Pixabay for their beautiful film clips and to Jplenio for the Lighthouse picture.
