  • Hallelujah
    I'm listening to a recording of you sleeping next to me
    A cappella
    I'm listening to you cover Elliot Smith's "Angeles"
    It's these times I'll need if you go
    It's these times I'll need if you go, so

    Get better, my darling
    I know you will
    Get better, my darling
    I know you will
    Get better

    I'm drawn to the motorway
    The cold whoosh of trucks passing
    This nighttime under sodium light
    The orange spread is soul-quietening
    A younger you and a younger me
    Meeting at The Serpentine
    I am yours, you are mine

    Happy birthday
    Staff smuggled in a card I made
    It rests under your pillow
    When out of ICU
    You'll cringe at all the 'I love you's
    The card retired the life of one biro
    At this time, I wanted you to know
    At this time, I wanted you to know

    Get better, my darling
    I hope you will
    Get better, my darling
    I hope you will
    Get better

    I'll start the day with tiramisu
    Raise a spoon to frontline workers
    An underfunded principle
    They risk all to be there for us
    A younger you and a younger me
    Meeting at The Serpentine
    I am yours, you are mine

    You were the baker
    I'll christen this new era
    With the smell of freshly baked bread
    Your Nutella, I'll keep it in the cellar
    You were always a fan of that spread
    Six months on, there's a car crash outside
    The fire brigade using the jaws of life
    No flush at night to sound your return
    I still pretend you're only out of sight

    Front garden bouquet, I threw it at the fire brigade
    I was admonished and told to go back inside
    From the living room window
    I stand and watch the white sheet go
    Over the family car and I close my eyes
    I still pretend you're only out of sight in another room
    Smiling at your phone
    I still pretend you're only out of sight in another room
    Smiling at your phone
    I still pretend you're only out of sight in another room
    Smiling at your phone
    I still pretend you're only out of sight in another room
    Smiling at your phone
    I still pretend

    A younger me, a younger you
    Meeting at The Serpentine
    The beginning of spring, you wore those yellow ripped jeans
    Your look defined my 2009
    Your shyness stoked my boldness
    "Shall we go in?", I smiled
    Your hand warmed walking through the gallery

    (Get better)
    I know I will
    (Get better)
    My darling, I know I will Writer/s: Augustus Figaro Niso Unger-Hamilton, Joe Jerome Newman, Thomas Stuart Green
