An original song by Tim Cameron.

LYRICS: Old familiar spiderwebs Snow upon your summer dress Remember when we laughed until we died? See, this is what the vow entailed To hold you while we both grew frail Your paper skin like wings around your eyes

It's no surprise That love is not the same as joy And that's why, love, It is the strangest joy

Cupid shot his arrow true I watched it drain the life from you One by one, our senses stripped their threads At the end, you were a child again Didn't know me from the milkman Now I kiss goodnight The face beside my bed The girl I wed

Guess love is not the same as joy And that's why, love, It is the strangest joy

And It's my privilege, my only wife, to be the one to close your eyes And slip from you a newborn soul Your body broke and old and cold And love is not the same as joy Of course That's why, love, It is the strangest joy

LYRICS: I shall be a seer like the prophets of old When the lord takes away my sight On a milky Sunday in my grim northern town I will finally see the light But it won't take cataracts to show me the way Just the bottom of a glass Before last orders, there'll be rainbows in the mist Rolling in from my wine-dark past And I'll cry, oh, come gather round Here sits the prophet of the Rose & Crown Come all you seekers of a truth that won't be found To hear the prophet of the Rose & Crown If I may request that when the rest of me goes The statue should rest just here Prognosticating on a three-legged throne; Hang the crisp nobly from his beard With ascetic grandeur I shall gaze through the veil; See the stars wheel before my eyes So goes the sign, "Oh gentle pilgrim, you will never walk alone For a blind shepherd's by your side" And they'll cry, oh come gather round Here sat the prophet of the Rose & Crown Come all you seekers of a truth that won't be found Behold the prophet of the Rose & Crown Oh, you're laughing now But who'll bewail me when I'm in the ground? I was the only living boy in Grimsby town! Now can't you see the way to one last round?
