|
Cold aeroplanes, slow boats, warm trains |
|
Remind me of Jack-A-Lynn |
|
Lush hotels and pretty girls |
|
Won't cheer the misty mood I'm in |
|
Silly, sad, I've never had to write this before |
|
Oh, Jack-A-Lynn |
|
Funny how long nights allow |
|
Thoughts of Jack-A-Lynn |
|
When phantoms tread around my bed |
|
To offer restless dreams they bring |
|
And it's just the time and place to find |
|
A sad song to play |
|
For Jack-A-Lynn |
|
Magpies that shriek, old boots that leak |
|
Call me to Jack-A-Lynn |
|
Coal black cats in policeman's hats |
|
Nosing where the mice have been |
|
And the long meow's beginning now |
|
And I'm far, far from home |
|
And Jack-A-Lynn |
