Austin Lyrics

(It's only me Sam)

(Just to wish you a happy birthday)

(And I'll talk to you soon)

Austin, or should I call you Grandad?

You stopped the good from going bad

Austin, or should I call you Michael?

You were this boy's idol

Austin, or Mr Upton?

Remember those days in London

I do, oh I do

All the words I would have said

If I could sit by your bed

All the words I had to say

If you'd another day

We'd sit over there

(Only me again Sam, I'll catch you one of these days)

And you would stroke my hair

Tell me many things

Stories of dragons and kings

I had so much to tell you

So many things I'm sure you knew

But most of all I would have tried

Just to be near your side

(Hi Sam, it's only me) Hey now, the memories not gone

(When you've got a moment give me a ring back because I'm having trouble with my phone)

I'll keep it

(Okay)

Going strong

Like you, strongest I knew

Like you, my baby blue

The HMS Belfast

The best days out

Now they're past

Imperial War Museum

A canon

A tank

A mausoleum

Saint Pauls, the Cutty Sark

The Spitfire

The Messerschmitt

The Bismarck

The Tower of London

We've been and done it

The Monument

We climbed to the summit

And we saw things

Things just for us

You were mine, I was yours

And that was enough

I know things were tough in the end

But I want you to know that you are still my best friend

That morning I thought I could maybe share

But I found it was like I was talking to the air

'Cus you weren't there

You weren't there

You weren't there

You weren't there

You were somewhere else

I know it

I know

'Cus I know you

And I know what you'd do

I know what you'd do

(Hi, it's only Grandad, Sam)

(I'll catch you later)
