Talk of tea









My dear I'm glad you're here
I haven't seen you since
that last man went away
though you saw him as your prince
until that awful day
when hurt came from his hand.
  But now you're here with me
  and we will talk of tea
  and I will understand

My dear I'm glad you came
It's really been an age
and though you have bad hips
and pain you can't assuage
complaints won't pass your lips
I don't know how you stand
  But now you're here with me
  and we will talk of tea
  and I will understand

My dear I'm glad we met
I've had a hectic week
just talking all around
the words we cannot speak
'til finally I found
my sympathy crash land
  So now you're here with me
  and we will talk of tea
  I'm sure you'll understand.
