Fair Old Lady - 10 Year Version
As a fair old lady, she opens up her eyes
In her hands a steaming cup, a feeling that's got no price
See her grey hair shimmering bright
Sitting in a rocking chair in early morning's hazy light
I remember the day when I first earned my pay
Down at the docks, by the seaside cleaning up the quay
I spent my time there and to tell you the truth
Those were happy days in my long gone youth
That's the town I love in many ways
That's the town where I spend my days
Where warm sun shines from above
This fair old lady is my only love
When I returned home from a far away land
I smell what I missed; the flavour of this unique brand
I hope that I never have to leave my loved wife
In this rusted shady town I want to exhale my life
That's the town I love in many ways
That's the town where I spend my days
Where warm sun shines from above
This fair old lady is my only love
The clouds, I saw them go and come
A smile instead of a glass filled with rum
Down the midnight streets I hear
The church bell ringing in my ear
My day has come, it's my last breath
Oh, my lady, what a wonderful death
That's the town I love in many ways
That's the town where I spend my days
Where warm sun shines from above
This fair old lady is my only love
That's the town I love in many ways
That's the town where I spend my days
Where warm sun shines from above
This fair old lady is my only love
This fair old lady is my only love
This fair old lady is my only love
In her hands a steaming cup, a feeling that's got no price
See her grey hair shimmering bright
Sitting in a rocking chair in early morning's hazy light
I remember the day when I first earned my pay
Down at the docks, by the seaside cleaning up the quay
I spent my time there and to tell you the truth
Those were happy days in my long gone youth
That's the town I love in many ways
That's the town where I spend my days
Where warm sun shines from above
This fair old lady is my only love
When I returned home from a far away land
I smell what I missed; the flavour of this unique brand
I hope that I never have to leave my loved wife
In this rusted shady town I want to exhale my life
That's the town I love in many ways
That's the town where I spend my days
Where warm sun shines from above
This fair old lady is my only love
The clouds, I saw them go and come
A smile instead of a glass filled with rum
Down the midnight streets I hear
The church bell ringing in my ear
My day has come, it's my last breath
Oh, my lady, what a wonderful death
That's the town I love in many ways
That's the town where I spend my days
Where warm sun shines from above
This fair old lady is my only love
That's the town I love in many ways
That's the town where I spend my days
Where warm sun shines from above
This fair old lady is my only love
This fair old lady is my only love
This fair old lady is my only love
