Joe Porterhouse |
| The children sit upon the stairs |
| High above a valley of tears |
| Don’t let them see you crying that way oh no |
| Oh no Joe Porterhouse |
| Is not gone forever |
| He’ll be back another day |
| Don’t let them see you crying that way |
| Please don’t wake him let him sleep |
| It’s a moment she can keep |
| Like an old bus ticket or a photograph |
| Resting on the mantlepiece |
| While for the wicked there is no peace |
| She says it’s not his time to go |
| Why we were nearly lovers years ago |
| Now what is left for me |
| Among the broken branches of the family tree |
| Heart like an anchor |
| Arms like cable |
| He stood all alone on an iron turntable |
| Don’t let them see you crying that way oh no |
| The sun beats down |
| It’s cracking the flags |
| Boys who should know better |
| Are stamping out fags |
| Don’t let them see you laughing that way |
| Oh no Joe Porterhouse |
| Is not gone forever |
| He’ll be back another day |
| Don’t let them see you crying that way |
