So many friends across the globe

Whose warmth I hold most dear

All wish me well and send me strength

But none of them are here

Around me there are goats and sheep

And deer up on the brind

Crows that fly high overhead

Then hover on the wind

In a world so overpopulated

Where are those crowds so vast?

For I’ve not seen a single soul

Since Monday evening last

I’m alone, imprisoned here

By another’s dire deeds

Serving out my sentence

Whilst my man attends his needs

There is no correspondence

Nor means to fly away

I must remain because the law

Says here I have to stay

One day I hope to start anew

Begin afresh and strong

Rebuild a life of tactile friends

And sing a brand new song

‘til then it’s lonely Friday

Saturday, Sunday too

The sod’s caught me in limbo

And there’s nothing I can do.
