she looked like a lady who knew what to do and ...
not one of those types that didn't have a clue and...
not a walk in the rain - completely wet through...
and I this is how it went
when she looked back she seemed a little older, and...
I don't think that she had a chip on her shoulder and...
I don't think she did what her mother had told her...
her outfit said so much
she sort of smiled and I sort of smiled back and...
I thought this one was a hard nut to crack and...
with defences down, she sort of backtracked...
then she softly whispered
"well sailor boy what are you doing here and...
shouldn't you be at home with your old mother dear and...
when she finds out you've been anywhere near...
you're going to need somewhere new"
so I had to act cooI and l had to act smart and...
not really knowing just where to start and...
hoping this accord would not fall apart...
"do you know of a place I could stay?"
well that reply about knocked her for six and...
saying "if that's how you get your kicks" and...
taking my hand, eyes probing; transfixed...
said "follow me this way!"
I follow her now as I did at the start and...
I wasn't to know she'd have stolen my heart
and my soul, we are as one - off the chart and...
very much
'til death...
us do part...
