Waifs - Lest We Forget lyrics

Lest we forget<br />

Your dates as a younger man<br />

Like how when you were nine you fell in love <br />

Because she was the first girl you’d seen throw a cricket ball<br />

You knew that you’d be together for the rest of your lives<br />

Now you sit alone in the sun in the backyard <br />

Feeding the birds, reading the newspaper<br />

Thinking about the love that you shouldn’t have lost<br />

<br />

Love that you lost, love that you shouldn’t have<br />

Love that you lost, love that you shouldn’t have<br />

Love that you lost, love that you shouldn’t have lost<br />

<br />

When I was a child<br />

I didn’t see her much <br />

She past away before I was five<br />

I was so young that it barely affected my life<br />

The one day when I asked you told me she was magnificent<br />

All that I had was your word and a photograph<br />

But one look in your eyes told me all that I needed to know<br />

<br />

Love that you lost, love that you shouldn’t have<br />

Love that you lost, love that you shouldn’t have<br />

Love that you lost, love that you shouldn’t have lost<br />

<br />

Love that you lost, love that you shouldn’t have<br />

Love that you lost, love that you shouldn’t have<br />

Love that we lost, love that we shouldn’t have lost
