Hillary's Flat

Hillary's flat a Jersey cat
Turf welcome mat at Hillary's flat
She compensates you resonate at
Hillary's flat

Hillary's flat too bad you say
Hillary's flat and that's okay
She compensates you resonate she
Decorates

A God's eye here and a crystal there
A pendant tear at Hillary's flat
A heart shaped box her woollen socks

Hillary's flat a place I go
A place I grow a place I know
She compensates you resonate
Hillary's flat

She moved there back in '71
When we still knew John Lennon
By '81 she'd bought the flat
By then she lost her Jersey Cat

She painted, she plastered, she fixed it good
In '91 reworked the wood
And that year when the buildings fell
Hillary's flat withstood that hell yes

Yonder back in old '01
Hillary's flat still warm still fun
She compensates you resonate

Hillary's flat it matters not
I drove her home from school one day
And dropped her at her parent's house
She thanked me in her peasant blouse

I should have stopped her, stayed to talk
But I was just a child myself
How would I know our lives would split
Like milk the forty years be spilt

Hillary's flat would be her home
Our fortress now my epic poem
My life has run another course
At times a treadmill always a force

And now I go to Hillary's Flat
But I've imagined all of that
They say the universe is just so vast
If you imagine it, it comes to pass

So someone on some world somewhere at
Hillary's Flat has come to share
The joys of all that's Hillary
Better him perhaps than me

Hillary's Flat, a Jersey Cat
Turf welcome mat at Hillary's Flat
She compensates, you resonate
She elevates

Hillary's Flat, a heart shaped box
Her woollen socks, her blond ringed locks
A song I started long ago
Has not ended although it's slowed

I wear the song like an old hat, and that's okay
Hillary's Flat
And if I sing it all off key well that's okay
That's Hillary

And that's okay, Hillary's Flat
She compensates, you resonate
And if I sing it all off key, well that's okay
That's Hillary
