lyrics

Sterling, silver and old
Sits in the silence of sunlight
Fingers all folded, he’s finished his food
But it’s not yet time for the news

Margaret’s rings are of gold
Circular swipes in the sink, white
Plates are prepared for a place in the pile
Perfect and porcelain blue

Margaret moves in her mind
Morning and midday and moonlight
Washing her white wedding cutlery, she
Wanders the world as it used to be

Sterling, seated between
Two sacred souls on the wall
The carpenter saviour, the cricketer saint
Stare as he stands and walks to the TV
They stare as he stands and walks to the TV
