Taking My Time

from 45 by TA Walker

lyrics

We all know that summer's long gone
And the sky has drank its cellar of sun
Find me where the swans convene
In this pond-side seat they named for me
The lazy wind won't amble through here
Kept at bay by a scarf and cashmere
A parka and a memory of tropical climes
Make that tea, for I'm taking my time

Remember the advert with the boy who glowed
After breakfast, off to school in the snow?
I don't need porridge for the same effect
As my morning started so perfectly
Pre-lunch minutes paddle slow
Smaller seconds follow close
A shaft of sun breaks through the gloom
The fire inside was lit by you

I don't moan the world has left me behind
When I had no destination in mind
The morning flew before I awoke
The dream dispersed like so much smoke
You hear me say it's not too late
Even as we watch our plans deflate
Where there's life, there's always hope
Watch out for the rescue rope

Please drop by the park if you're free
The bench feels warmer in good company
You'll find the one in blue that's new
It was made for three; we'll make do with two
When we've fed the ducks, we'll shoot the breeze
Talk news and weather and creaky knees
Before we know, the sun sank low
I guess you know a place to go?
