Though I know the night has fallen

 and the sun's sailed out to sea

I will wait here for the band to play

 the trumpet voluntary

 And with one foot on the seashore

 and the other in the sand

 I will stand here plaiting daisies

 whilst you play the piano-grand

Caprice, your bugle blew away

the cobwebs from my ears

and for once I stood quite naked.

Unashamed, I wept the tears

which I tried to hide inside

myself from me, I mean from you

but the shame I found too painful

and the pain it only grew

Magdalene, my Regal Zonophone
