Genesis - For Absent Friends Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Sunday at six when they close both the gates
  • A widowed pair,
  • Still sitting there,
  • Wonder if theyre late for church
  • And its cold, so they fasten their coats
  • And cross the grass, theyre always last.
  • Passing by the padlocked swings,
  • The roundabout still turning,
  • Ahead they see a small girl
  • On her way home with a pram.
  • Inside the archway,
  • The priest greets them with a courteous nod.
  • Hes close to god.
  • Looking back at days of four instead of two.
  • Years seem so few (four instead of two).
  • Heads bent in prayer
  • For friends not there.
  • Leaving twopence on the plate,
  • They hurry down the path and through the gate
  • And wait to board the bus
  • That ambles down the street.
