Tea & Toast - Lucy Spraggan
Tom was born in 1942
With eyes of blue
And the doctors said
that his birth was far too fast
His heart stopped twice
But yet he survived
As he took his first breathe
His mother took her last
And his father knew
that he wasn't to blame
But he never quite looked
at Tom the same after that
And he rarely spoke about her
But when he did
He said your mother used to say this
When the skies are looking
bad my dear
And your heart has lost all it's hope
After dawn there will be sunshine
And all the dust will go
Skies will clear my darling
I'll wake up with the one
I love the most And in the morning
I'll make you up
some tea and toast
When we met through a friend
Who introduced them
The first thing Tom said was
would you like to dance
They moved with each other
and when the music got slower
He said don't let go of my hand
He said It's only polite
if I ask you tonight
Would it be alright
if I could walk you home
That night he told of his birth
And said when it hurt
He thought about what
his mother said about tea and toast
Two quick years went by
They were side by side
And without a plan
they conceived a little child
He said women I love you
and this you know
But I only have enough
for our food and clothes
But I love you and this baby
Until the day that I die
She said we'll take care of
this little life
And we'll fall in love
with her baby blue eyes
And we'll be alright from
some advice that I know
She said I never got to meet her
But if I did I'm sure your
would have said this
When the skies are
looking bad my dear
And your heart has lost all it's hope
After dawn there will be sunshine
And all the dust will go
Skies will clear my darling
We'll show this baby
all the love we know
And in the morning I'll make you up
some tea and toast
Well he took those words
And he made them proud
He worked day after day
And hour after hour
So that they could buy a little
house on the outside of town
The little girl grew up
and so did they
They said that they loved
each other everyday
And forty years later
that brings us to now
And as they're walking
down the street
Her grip loosens on his hand
He puts his arm around
her side as she falls to the ground
He hears her breathing
and that's the only sound
Her body on the floor
attracts a worried crowd
Tears rolls off his face
as he says don't let go now
And he's sitting by her be
in the hospital ward
Their daughter walks
in with a family of her own
She says dad I don't know
if she can hear you now
But there's one thing mum
would want you to know
When the skies are
looking bad my dear
And your heart has lost all it's hope
After dawn there will be sunshine
And all the dust will go
Skies will clear my darling
Now it's time for you to let go
I go wake you up in the mornin'
with some tea and toast
