There’s a kind old lady knitting
looking through her window pane
Spending days months years and sighs
trav'ling winding mem’ry lanes
She sees a girl and the boy next door
Feels their hand in hand
Unafraid of the path they take
It’s their future to command

Inside she’s still that little girl
from all those years ago
Still hearing school ground laughter
feeling thrill of new laid snow
Reliving all the hopes and tears
with family close around
And though those times are distant now
Inside they’re safe and sound, safe and sound

There’s a cat upon the window sill
A clock chimes on the side
The fire’s cold in the grate now but
pride cloaks the cold she hides
Then as she nods and falls asleep
smiles lingers on her lips
And a ball of wool rolls to the floor
from between her finger tips

Inside she’s still that little girl
from all those years ago
Still hearing school ground laughter
feeling thrill of new laid snow
Reliving all the hopes and tears
with family close around
And though those times are distant now
Inside they’re safe and sound, safe and sound

Across the room her photographs
Smiling faces watch over her
They're on their guard and they never sleep
In their likeness she looks out too
Over you (over you, over you, over you)

Inside she’s still that little girl
from all those years ago
Still hearing school ground laughter
feeling thrill of new laid snow
Reliving all the hopes and tears
with family close around
And though those times are distant now
Inside they’re safe and sound, safe and sound
