For The Choirboys

A poem for my friends who I was in a choir with, many good times singing with them.

Can you see, the wise old men, sitting talking in the bar
Another pint, tell me a story
Sing me a song about love and glory

Others around us, all having fun
Crowded and noisy, gives me the blues
Uninhibited faces giving their own
Opinions on the news

We talk about the days gone by
We'll sing a song, and pass the hat
No-ones listening, that's the end of that
Look to the future, can't you see
Nostalgia ain't what it used to be

Time is short when it's licensed
Can't believe it's time to go
Enjoyed tonight, goodnight to all
We'll take a walk, long way home
