4.Uncle Pat
Lyrics:Tim Wheeler
Music:Tim Wheeler
I set off this morning
down the road along the river
which I take but once a year
My walk will take me by the shore
then inland for a mile or more
from the cold sea spray.
A small wood stands upon the hill
an old house near it lies in ruins
forgotten long ago
And here in a clearing, overgrown with moss and ivy
Is your lonely grave.
At dusk I will make my way
Along the lanes and through the fields
To where my cottage is
But before I step inside for bed
I'll look up at the stars as we had
All those years ago.
So heres for Uncle Pat.
