lyrics

Little mite, I think you might have been everything
We’d got our hopes up for
I saw you for one heartbeat and then no more

Little mite, I’ve got your picture on my fridge door
But I’ll have to move you now
Into the box called ‘What might have been’

Like a painting abandoned or a half-remembered tune
An idea never realised
We’ll put you on the box set
And they’ll ask why you didn’t see the light
Perfect in your way
A fine example of the form

But today it’s hard for us
Toy animals stare back at us
Silent night, there’s three in bed
But the little one said:
“I might not be here long”
“I might have to leave you two alone”
“I might have to leave you two alone”
