Jim had lucid moment though dementia had taken hold, in a care home unworthy of its name he sat frail and old, news had come over Susie lay dying in bed, doctors tried, lost that fight that **** cancer spread in the darkest night a light burns so bright it’s a love so strong it goes on these bonds don’t break there solid and true in troubled times let love lights guide you through Pulling on slippers tightening a dressing gown ,in the early hours without sight he slipped out those grounds, with something more than blood pumping through his veins, Jim walked empty streets in that pouring rain in the darkest night a light burns so bright it’s a love so strong it goes on these bonds don’t break there solid and true in troubled times let love lights guide you through a hundred old love letters a box of photographs six kids eight dogs a billion belly laughs they found her in the morning locked in Jimmy’s arms life had gone but love lives on you can feel it in the heart look at a picture closer you might see something in their eyes it belongs to you and me in the darkest night a light burns so bright it’s a love so strong it goes on these bonds don’t break there solid and true in troubled times let love lights guide you through

Within my neighbourhood flowers grow in mud there’s space within this place it just needs filling up on the lottery we pick pot luck but some they’ve given up the church is dying there’s people crying there’s tea within a cup as people make their way through this sad decade with heads turned down to the ground they’ll find a place to stay where the swimming pool is full of children after school and neighbours speak in Arabic and Greek and everything's just cool but at night the shutters come down on my part of town it’s not black nor white I don’t believe that tripe it’s poverty and it’s cruel whilst others were born to win what could be there sin I won’t stereotype the good and right nor the places they have been welcome to Prospect Street where I meet the good the bad happy ‘n’ sad and their memories shine like jewels. in my Radford nights where sun and moon collide and there in blue dreams come true for the me and you I really do love you really do love you it’s true
