sly withers - glad lyrics
this past week
i learnt by heart
the route from the airport to charlie gairdner
we didn’t know how long he had
until we did and then i tried to feel glad
cause he told me a nursery rhyme
said “we have fun don’t we?”
and i just smiled
and that felt like it was good enough for me
to have an innings of 91 years then to go so peacefully
that would be good enough for me
the care would have k!lled ya anyway
a stubborn independent soul until the ambulance came
still mowing our lawns ’til last summer
still picking grapes on the swan ’til one summer before
you left some shoes to fill
a couple chairs as well
a wad of cash in your bedside table
and a few stories to tell
it hit me in the kitchen
i’d been fine all weekend
i couldn’t look anyone in the eye
and i sure couldn’t pretend
the fuss of the funeral would have made you shake your head
still i think you’d have smiled if you saw all the people who travelled for miles
make it out to say their goodbyes
old bloke in khaki with tears in his eyes
that would be good enough for me
