Ian Bruce - Lonely Old Lady

Текст с Bandcamp’а: “LONELY OLD LADY (Ian M. Bruce) She’s a lonely old lady She sits by her fire Scorching her legs as the flames dance higher. Reflections in specs of a flickering screen. Her favourite programme again is unseen. She’s been snoozing. MmmH! Snoozing. But has she been sleeping for one hour or two? She fumbles from sleep. She finds little to do. But glance at the phone which infrequently rings. Hum unwritten songs She frequently sings La la la la. La la la lonely She’s lonely La la la lonely. Then speakin’ out loud she says “Don’t be so lazy!“ Mobility isn’t so easy these days. She shuffles her way past last month’s mag. To a wintry kitchen and a one cup teabag. She’s lonely La la la lonely. Lonely. La la la lonely. There’s an old shoe box And it’s tied round with string. Creased black and whites. She got Brownies within. But the prized Polaroids, they adorn the piano. Grandchildren’s silent “Hello!“ Grandchildren’s silent “Hello!“ All lights out but one on the bedside table. No more late nights. She’s no longer able. Just one more day put to memory’s store. She lies there wondering “How many more?“ She’s lonely La la la lonely. Her mind’s eye sees the shoebox untied. Prized Polaroids join the Brownies inside. The faces drift past her bed as they go. Grandchildren’s last cheerio. Grandchildren’s last cheerio from The Naked Truth Vol 2, released July 1, 2004 Written by Ian M. Bruce“
