[ti:Tea & Toast] [ar:Lucy Spraggan] [al:Join the Club (Deluxe)] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.73]Tom was born in 1942 [00:02.93]With eyes of blue [00:04.12]And the doctors said that his birth was far too fast [00:10.76] [00:12.32]His heart stopped twice [00:13.63]But yet he survived [00:14.89]As he took his first breathe [00:15.79]His mother took her last [00:22.47]And his father knew that he wasn't to blame [00:25.37]But he never quite looked at Tom the same after that [00:33.46]And he rarely spoke about her [00:35.54]But when he did [00:37.23]He said your mother used to say this [00:43.60]"When the skies are looking bad my dear [00:46.80]And your heart has lost all it's hope [00:49.52]After dawn there will be sunshine [00:51.91]And all the dust will go [00:54.85]Skies will clear my darling [00:57.13]I'll wake up with the one I love the most [00:59.77]And in the morning I'll make you up [01:04.61]With some tea and toast" [01:09.61] [01:10.68]When we met through a friend [01:12.05]Who introduced them [01:13.34]The first thing Tom said was would you like to dance [01:15.96] [01:21.55]They moved with each other and when the music got slower [01:25.48]He said don't let go of my hand [01:27.89] [01:31.60]He said It's only polite if I ask you tonight [01:34.78]Would it be alright if I could walk you home [01:37.69] [01:42.35]That night he told of of his birth [01:44.04]And said when it hurt [01:45.55]He thought about what his mother said about tea and toast [01:48.10] [01:53.46]Two quick years went by [01:55.36]They were side by side [01:58.82]And without a plan they conceived a little child [02:03.77]He said women I love you and this you know [02:06.47]But I only have enough for our food and clothes [02:09.29]But I love you and this baby [02:10.79]Until the day that I die [02:14.54]She said we'll take care of this little life [02:17.17]And we'll fall in love with her baby blue eyes [02:19.91] [02:20.43]And we'll be alright from some advice that I know [02:25.23]She said I never got to meet her [02:27.31]But if I did I'm sure your mother would have said this [02:36.15]"When the skies are looking bad my dear [02:38.45]And your heart has lost all it's hope [02:41.44]After dawn there will be sunshine [02:43.66]And all the dust will go [02:46.90]Skies will clear my darling [02:49.18]We'll show this baby all the love we know [02:51.74]And in the morning I'll make you up [02:54.20] [02:55.89]With some tea and toast" [02:58.86] [03:02.44]Well he took those words [03:03.58]And he made them proud [03:05.20]He worked day after day [03:06.58]And hour after hour [03:07.96]So that they could buy a little house on the outside of town [03:11.15] [03:13.40]The little girl grew up and so did they [03:15.64]They said that they loved each other everyday [03:17.82] [03:18.51]And forty years later that brings us to now [03:23.91]And as they're walking down the street [03:25.16]Her grip loosens on his hand [03:26.34]He puts his arm around her side as she falls to the ground [03:29.29]He hears her breathing and that's the only sound [03:34.95]Her body on the floor attracts a worried crowd [03:36.59]Tears rolls off his face as he says "don't let go now" [03:44.28] [03:45.52]And he's sitting by her bed in the hospital ward [03:47.87]Their daughter walks in with a family of her own [03:50.79] [03:55.84]She says "dad I don't know if she can hear you now [03:58.54]But there's one thing mum would want you to know" [04:04.36] [04:06.82]When the skies are looking bad my dear [04:09.18]And your heart has lost all it's hope [04:11.83]After dawn there will be sunshine [04:14.73]And all the dust will go [04:17.44]Skies will clear my darling [04:19.45]Now it's time for you to let go [04:22.71]I go wake you up in the mornin' with some tea and toast
