A Few Short Years Ago - Anita Carter[00:00:00]
I went back to the village Tom[00:00:08]
And sat beneath the tree [00:00:12]
Upon the schoolhouse playground[00:00:18]
Which one sheltered you and me;[00:00:22]
But none were there to greet me Tom[00:00:29]
And few were left to know[00:00:33]
That played with us upon the grass[00:00:39]
A few short years ago[00:00:43]
I stood and gazed upon the tree[00:00:49]
Where you once called our names[00:00:54]
I loved you then with all my heart[00:00:58]
And that has never changed[00:01:02]
The tree is old and tired Tom[00:01:08]
It's dying sure but slow[00:01:12]
Soon it will die just as you died[00:01:18]
A few short years ago[00:01:23]
The grass is just as green Tom[00:01:28]
With barefooted boys at play[00:01:33]
They're playing games that we played then[00:01:39]
With spirits just as gay [00:01:43]
The same old bricks are in the wall[00:01:49]
The bell swings to and fro[00:01:53]
And sounds just like it sounded Tom[00:01:59]
A few short years ago[00:02:03]
I went up to the churchyard Tom[00:02:10]
Did you know I was there[00:02:14]
And did you hear me praying Tom[00:02:18]
We'd meet again somewhere[00:02:22]
You see I'd never married Tom[00:02:28]
I've only had one vow[00:02:33]
And as you know that vow was you[00:02:39]
A few short years ago[00:02:43]
