The Old Dreamers

The dreamers She has fallen asleep in the living room, watching TV I feel guilty should have joined her, but soap opera, do my head in Now, I am going to sit near her on the sofa and when she wakes up She will think I have been sitting there all the time She will be happy and hold my hands I have promised her tomorrow, we are going for a drive along the coast Stop for coffee and a cake, and watch the young swimmers frolicking She will tell me again at the time she was a stewardess and danced The tango in Buenos Aires, not to be outdone, I will tell a story from The time when I was young, omitting the women thing- She had a great time while I spent much time reading books and Dreaming in the ship’s cabin, I had no the courage to live the life Unless I was sozzled and my phobia of the outdoors ran my life, about The jolly man who knew tomorrow, the fear would return.
