LAST CHRISTMAS AT LENNEL HOUSE It’s Christmastime at Lennel House, snow lies in the grounds While all at home can celebrate, the care staff do their rounds And they’re paid an extra fiver on top of their minimum pay To show the boss is generous on this giving day The residents are rising to another lonely morn The old, demented and infirm, the forgotten and forlorn They hang the paper streamers they made the other day Remembering their childhood whilst forgetting yesterday So hark the Lennel angels sing Sing out one last time For the lonely souls who’ll never know Another Christmastime Martha feeds the birds, her one daily routine No-one should have to see the things this gentle soul has seen Jen’s liquid lunch of turkey is dribbling down her chin Marjorie just looks confused, not knowing where to begin So hark the Lennel angels sing Sing out one last time For the lonely souls who’ll never know Another Christmastime Their families sip sweet sherry underneath the Christmas tree Wishing they could hurry home to a place they’d rather be While the One Man Music Hall strikes up a song of Christmas cheer While Alex shouts for Johnny Cash, that’s what he’d like to hear After tea they sit in silence in the Common Room The same four walls they always see close in like a tomb While ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ plays on the TV screen They can reflect on their own lives and all that they might have been So hark the Lennel angels sing Sing out one last time For the lonely souls who’ll never know Another Christmastime Bring them joy and peace at last On their last Christmastime (Gary Miller) © 2012 Whippet Records Copyright Control MCPS/PRS
