I remember riding in that car
Through unknown Essex.Suffolk to the sea
Oh Aldeburgh,Dunswich, where we were
The fields invited love with yellow stars
Beguiling buttercups, and you and me
We got lost in Braintree in our car
Framlingham, we saw wild primrose there
Mary Tudor unimagined flees.
Ah, Aldeburgh, fishing boats and tar
History so poignant and bizarre
Bloody Mary’s heretics, the siege
They might have got away inside our car
Southwold Harbour, walking on the spur
Rowed acrosss the tidal river clear
Then Walberswick where Freud’s descendents smirk
As death came down was I the wife you chose
Your pretty one with cheeks of peach and rose?
My Wedding Dress , my eyes, my shining hair
Your flowered shirt, your eyes , your humour rare
