I’ll Listen

Walking past the bungalows, I'm going home
Touch my hat and say "Hello", I'm going home
Past the hedge that needs a trim
The dog comes out to get me in
I've come back home and now we are alone

Pour me another cup of tea and I'll listen
While you tell me what the hairdresser said
Pour me another cup of tea
I'll simply nod or disagree
But I'll listen... I'll listen

Eggs are more expensive and you've bought yourself a dress
Lucy Kelly's getting marriеd soon
The new man at the Post Officе
He's rude dear… so rude dear
He said I'd taken someone else's place!

Pour me another cup of tea and I'll listen
While you tell me what the hairdresser said
Pour me another cup of tea
I'll simply nod or disagree
But I'll listen... I'll listen

You've finally decided that you're leaving me for good
You're going home to mother in Tibet
You're leaving me completely free…
Wake up, dear… Wake up, dear
You haven't heard a single word I've said

Pour me another cup of tea and I'll listen
While you tell me what the hairdresser said
Pour me another cup of tea
I'll simply nod or disagree
But I'll listen… I'll listen
Whatever you say I'll just listen
If I'm lucky I'll dream but I'll listen
