But he ain't here
Down your street
your crying is a well-known sound
Your street is very well-known
throughout your town
Your town is very famous
for the little girl
Whose crying can be heard
all around the world

No need to feel so bad

We'll bring you flowers and things
Help pass the time
We'll give him eagle's wings
So he can fly to you

My name is Ivor

Just cause he's late
Don't mean he'll never get through
He told me he loves you
He ain't no liar I ain't either
So let's have a smile
for an old engine driver

I can't believe it
Do my eyes decieve me
Am i back in your arms
Away from all harm
It's like a dream to be
with you again
Can't believe
that I'm with you again
I missed you and I must admit
I kissed a few and once did sit
On ivor the Engine Driver's lap
And later with him had a nap
You are forgiven you are forgiven
you are forgievn
You are forgiven
