lyrics

MISS EGMONT

Miss Egmont what will you do
When the sun stops shining on you?
When your come-uppance is due
And your cup of tea’s no longer for you?
And you wish that you could forget
Disappointments made you a wreck
And a life that’s full of regret
Is a full life indeed yeah that’s what I heard

You can’t change history now
And you can’t just throw in the towel
The die’s already been cast
Why don’t you relax, here sniff on a flower
It’s all in the past, dear, late is the hour

So just keep thumping that bible
Just let tumbling dice roll

Miss Egmont what will you do
When the sun starts setting on you?
When your little room with a view
And the clock on the wall ticking drives you cuckoo?
Got a keepsake souvenir box
Forget the snapshot treasury tossed
Down by the wayside memory lane
Can’t get all the stains out
To erase all the pain

You can’t make history change
You can’t just take all the blame
Here your credit is good
Please let it be, would you just let it go?
You’ve done a good job, more than you know

So just keep thumping that bible
We’ll just keep stumbling by though
Lightning and thunder is liable
To strike us down at any time

Miss Egmont don’t you know you should be proud
You’ve done the best you can and you’re allowed
To look back and fondly remember the days
Of winery, rosary and fine bouquets
You deserve praise
Miss Egmont you’ve done a good job,
Much more than you know
