[00:00.08]Missing You By Penelope Shuttle. Felix Mendelssohn- Bartholdy –Violin Concerto in E minor 2nd mov - Maureen Lipman
[00:01.12]This year no one will ask how you voted
[00:04.72]Or of you know the way to town
[00:07.54]No one will call you as an eyewitness
[00:10.18]Or teach you how to train a bird of prey
[00:14.11]No one will bring you your new Scientist
[00:17.11]Try to sell you double glazing
[00:19.63]Or tell you the secrets
[00:21.56]People will write to you
[00:23.14]But you won't answer their letters
[00:26.14]The high sheriff of mistletoe will never catch your eye again
[00:30.08]No one will peel apples for you
[00:32.68]Or love you more than you can bear
[00:37.03]No one will forget you
[00:42.84]I wept in Tesco Sainsburys and in Boots
[00:48.09]Where they give me medicine for grief
[00:52.25]But I wept in Asda in Woolworths and in the library
[00:55.93]Where they give me books on grief
[00:59.62]I wept in Clarks
[01:01.02]Looking in vain for shoes that would stop me weeping
[01:05.75]I wept on The Peace March
[01:07.52]And all through the war
[01:10.12]I wept in Superdrug
[01:11.29]Where they give me free box of tissues
[01:15.38]I wept in the churches
[01:17.33]The empty empty churches
[01:20.57]And in the House of Commence
[01:22.82]They voted me out of office
[01:27.49]I've lived with your death for a year
[01:30.22]That despot death
[01:31.84]That realist stunned
[01:35.63]As if I've just given birth to a foal
[01:38.96]Or made an enemy of the rain
[01:42.47]All at once you have more important things to live
[01:47.46]Death is the feather in your cap
[01:50.48]The source of your fame
[01:52.92]My darkest lesson
[01:55.94]This dropout year closes
[01:58.79]I begin my second year without you
[02:02.26]Just me and the paper-thin world
