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!

Lovers

You’re out there in the peopled world

Bobbing heads crowd your fair face

You sit in tunnels and in buses...

Thanks to God

With Allie singing round the place

Gracing the stairs as I say my prayers

Letting the sun start from her face...
