The Colonel's gone
There's an old lady all alone
And so forlorn
Suddenly, with him not there
She's past her prime
Out of tune and out of breath
And out of time
And her days drag on and on
And her nights are, oh, so long
She remembers days in 'Doon
Stairwells and starch
Farewells in March
Farewell to June
Farewell to June
Farewell to June
A lonely song
She'd always said she would go first
But now he's gone
Leaving memories of days
Of broken trust
As her house turns to decay
And flesh to dust
She talks to paintings in the hall
She has no visitors at all
The lucky ones go first, in uniform and starch
Now, none too soon
Farewell to June
Farewell in March
Farewell in March
Farewell in March
She talks to paintings in the hall
She has no visitors at all
The lucky ones go first, in uniform and starch
Now, none too soon
Farewell to June
Farewell in March
Farewell in March
Farewell in March
