The Painter's Lament
I was from the South and she was from the North
We met in a laundrette spinning round and round
Trying to be grown up's and laughing at this game
A premonition you'd would call it, well things would not be the same
To the sound of Marvin Gaye, I remember dancing in May
She was wearing an emerald dress, hand sewn that caressed her breast. Moving to the beat, so light on her feet
Little did I know, this jewel I would not keep
'Cause I was destined to me great a painter with a cause
To tell the nation how it is a poet from these shores
A stubborn will a selfish choice is what I thought was needed
To sacrifice the one you love for something you believe in
From the month of July in a stony seaside town
At night we worked in the Marine Café, then made love during the day
To the sound of the ebbing tide and soaring cries of gulls
Our life felt so complete and talked of wedding bells

The following year in April a child shared our arms
The bonniest boy you'd ever seen sleeping so serene
But at this point our troubles came quarrels and tempers flew
She wanted more from me, like a fool I never knew
The last I heard she married a grey haired city gent
With a detached home in Worlplesdon and I was paying rent
From Euston road to Glasgow City, I'm not want to lament
But son I'm telling you now, learn to use your diligence
My brushes have dried up, all colours have faded away
But a memory still exists of dancing to Marvin Gaye
Moving to the beat, so light on her feet
If only I had realised the jewel I would not keep
