Next birthday uncle Albert
He'll be 94
I can set my clock
As he walks past the door
Down to the village pub
For two pints and no more
Never met a man like Albert
And he's going on 94
Albert was 18
When he was sent to war
His Majesty's brown envelope
Delivered through the door
Shipped off to Burma
Enlisted by the law
A speck on some world map
Hanging somewhere on the wall
Albert docked at Liverpool
When the war was won
That brave northern city
Bombed so heavy by the Hun
But four long years of fighting
He'd come to understand
The boy that went away and came back
Now was a man
And he picked a clod of dirt
Ran it through his hands
Numb disbelief
He was back where it all began
And he swore he'd never leave
The country of his birth
Till God decided
It was time to leave the earth
Last Friday at the Salem
Albert's sitting there
Sipping as usual
A pint of bitter beer
But I know he's not forgot
Those mates he lost and died
Doesn't like to talk about
Brings tears to his eyes
And he picked a clod of dirt
Ran it through his hands
Numb disbelief
He was back where it all began
And he swore he'd never leave
The country of his birth
Till God decided
It was time to leave the earth
Till God decided
It was time to leave the earth
Till God decided
It was time to leave the earth
