No clouds and now the sky ‘s dark pink
The stems of leafless shrubs are red
The sun is peering through a chink
No husband by me now to wink
Nor kiss me when we go to bed
No clouds and now the sky ‘s dark pink
No man to soothe me with a drink
No comfort for the heart that’s bled.
The sun’s still peering through a chink
The trash collectors lorries clank
No man will recall aught I’ve said
No clouds ,no sun, the sky ‘s dark pink
I drove up to the bottle bank
But have few beer cans since he’s dead
The sun’s still watching through that chink
Time to go where dreams are shed.
Oh, gambol nightly round my bed!
Oh , and now the sky ‘s dark pink
The sun and moon speak through the chink
