My Nanna

Up to the sky, now you can sleep.
Cloud as a pillow, us down here all weep.

Thinking back of all the things, the talks we'd have, the joy you'd bring.

When I think of you, my heart it aches.
I wish you were here to fix my mistakes.

I wasn't the best, I wish I had been, the kid you deserved, my Salford Queen.

When D Man came, your spark came back, watching him plan, his next attack.

A Great Nanna, you're gonne be. When Ric and Alice have their little baby.
It makes me sad, that you won't see, how big an impact you would have been.

It's time to go now, god bless and sleep tight. Our shining star, that shines so bright.
