What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
You're never far away from me
2
I've had this lock of your hair now for a half a century or more
3
I keep it in a matchbox in the pocket of my coat
4
Saturdays I go to town just to make them laugh
5
I learned to drive when I was 65 years old
6
And I sit poker-straight behind the wheel
7
Mother died of influenza when we kids were small
8
Father never smiled again and seemed to shrink with every passing year
9
Everybody sigh and put your hands on your hips
10
But when I get those old songs in my head
11
I can't keep my fingers off the keys
12
Through my research I have found all it takes
13
To keep the chickens laying eggs
14
Is opera or Gershwin played at low volumes on dad's old radio
15
One concession for the hens destined for slaughter:
16
I read them poetry
17
They like the Yeats the best
18
And frankly, so do I
19
Who wouldn't like to wake up on the Isle of Innisfree
20
To muck about that bee-loud glade like he?
21
Everybody sigh and put your hands on your hips
22
What's good enough for chickens is plenty good enough for you and me
23
You're never far away from me
24
I've had this lock of your hair now for a half a century or more
25
I keep it in a matchbox in the pocket of my coat
