Their song
In memory of Alfie
The words
Half seven, and you're sitting by the back door.
Rain or wind, you never seemed to mind.
I hunt around for boots across the floor.
You wait for me, so patient and so kind.
Some loves are simple, built of small routine.
Some hearts just show up, steady and unseen.
Thirteen years of Alfie, thirteen years of gold,
Thirteen years of stories that I still get told.
You made the ordinary something to adore.
You met me in the morning and you asked for more.
Oh, Alfie, I can hear your name.
The world got bigger on the day you came.
Somebody knocked, and down the hall you'd go,
One shoe held between your teeth, the left of two.
That week the village disappeared in snow,
We walked the lane twice over. So did you.
Some loves are simple, built of small routine.
Some hearts just show up, steady and unseen.
Thirteen years of Alfie, thirteen years of gold,
Thirteen years of stories that I still get told.
You made the ordinary something to adore.
You met me in the morning and you asked for more.
Oh, Alfie, I can hear your name.
The world got bigger on the day you came.
You got me talking to the whole of the street.
I learned each dog's name long before the rest.
You left me with the neighbours that I meet.
Wherever your lead pulled me was the best.
Thirteen years of Alfie, thirteen years of gold,
Thirteen years of stories that I still get told.
Thank you for the mornings, thank you for the lane.
Thank you for the walking out through wind and rain.
Oh, Alfie, I am glad you came.
The house is quieter. I say your name.
Half seven, and my boots are by the door.
