Have you seen the old girl?
This poem can be sung to the tune of 'Streets of London' by Ralph McTell. when I hear this song, I remember my friend who passed away a few years ago; he used to sing this song playing his guitar. https://youtu.be/92_qgqj9cx8
Have you seen the old girlWho is walking in the villageWearing loose trousersA top that doesn’t matchIn a pair of flat shoesYou wouldn’t really miss herAs she walks very slowlyWith her aching muscles. So how can you tell meShe’s not lonelyWhen sundown she is all aloneLet me tell you no one sees herFamily do not want to know herThe only time she speaksTo a health professional. Do you know the old girlWho sits by her lampDoesn’t stop writingTill early hours of mornAs she wakes upShe is anxiousDoesn’t know what the day will bring herShe has a cup of coffeeKnows she has to carry on. So how can you tell meShe’s not lonelyAll she does is stare at her tvLet me tell you how she survivesHer imagination is an assetIt takes her into a worldThat you and I can’t go.
