The Ring From Your Hand

When that builder cups his hand to other builder’s ear
It doesn’t happen often: maybe once or twice a year
That compliment from you, my precious dear
Would creep up unexpectedly, then disappear
First time we caught each other’s eye was at the bottle bank
Dropping off three times the amount our partners knew we drank
When did that bottle of plonk turn into walking plank?
When did that Chenin blanc turn to blank?
We took the shine out the sun, blew the clouds out the sky
Took the wind and the rain and the frost
Just inches below us, the river runs dry
And the love that once took us across
The kiss we exchanged that built us a bridge
Has sunk to its knees in the sand
The petals and sticks we dropped from the ridge
Have gone with the ring from your hand
Where’s the passion when we’re both stood in our socks?
When did Marvin’s «Get It On» get put back in the box?
When did being daring begin to shock?
When did wearing miniskirts turn into wearing our frocks?
Who’s the brains in this relationship?
We’re both in red kagoules
How could life be quite so dull with so many golden rules?
Who’s the brains in this relationship when we’re both in red kagoules?
We went and cracked the safe, but lost the jewels
We took the shine out the sun, blew the clouds out the sky
Took the wind and the rain and the frost
Just inches below us, the river runs dry
And the love that once took us across
The kiss we exchanged that built us a bridge
Has sunk to its knees in the sand
The petals and sticks we dropped from the ridge
Have gone with the ring from your hand
Now I look out the window from the end of the bed
And the moon shines so clearly above
Looking down at my children and patting their heads
Whisper, «God luck sure looks after love»
But moonlight through keyhole, starlight through crack
Is all the light we’ll likely see
And till death I depart, or your mummy comes back
No person casts shadow on me
We took the shine out the sun, blew the clouds out the sky
Took the wind and the rain and the frost
Just inches below us, the river runs dry
And the love that once took us across
The kiss we exchanged that built us a bridge
Has sunk to its knees in the sand
The petals and sticks we dropped from the ridge
Have gone with the ring from your hand
