Oh dear BetterCallSaul1 I hadn't thought of posting the stanzas separately. However as I'm not yet tired for some reason I'll try to post another.

Bettercallsaul1 · 04/08/2016 00:20

No, no - it was just a joke! But posting songs/poems might be a good idea...

Passenger. Patient Love
Got a pinch of tobacco in my pocket
I'm not gonna roll it no I'm not gonna smoke it
Til we're staring at the stars and the rockets
Twinkling in the silvery night

Second verse

Two sips of whiskey in the flask but I'm not gonna drink 'em
I swear I'll make it last
Til we're drinking out of the same glass again

And though the sand may be washed by the sea
And the old will be lost in the new
Well four will not wait for three
For three never waited for two
And though you will not wait for me
I'll wait for you

PortiaCastis · 04/08/2016 00:28

Third verse

Got a polaroid picture in my wallet
I'm not going to tear it no I'm not gonna spoil it
It's an unspoken heartbreak
A heartbroken handshake I'll take with me where I go
And three words on the tip of my tongue
Not to be spoken nor sung
Or whispered to anyone
Til I scream them at the top of my lungs again

Fourth verse

And the old will be lost in the new
Well four will not wait for three
For three never waited for two
And though you will not wait for me
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you
And I'll wait for you

Very good. I am having a stale biscuit that I found in the cupboard, even though I am supposed to be doing "sugar free".

Right, stay with me girls.... I am in the queue for Cursed Child tickets. Apparently there are 37,544 people ahead of me in the queue.ConfusedAngryShock

Oh, best of luck! I would love to see that! OH was talking about trying to get tickets for that last night but it's probably booked up for years! Sad
