A love in verse

Memories

1996-10-01
Performed by

You beside me on the balcony

The dark Aegean sea at dawn

And ouzo and water and cigarettes

And knowing beyond the blazing braziers

You were among ten thousand as we played.

And seeing Brentford from above – our

Own dear town, our yours-and-mine town – 

What memories! And thinking of you and our love – 

What memories to come!

Though I’m under the spell

Of you when young, my life’s best half,

It still may not be well...

Present Imperfect

I hope that you will fall in love again 

With someone I will introduce you to

Don’t worry – you’ll have no cause to complain...
