martyn joseph - albert's place (single version) كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
with head bowed low she walks on through her city
rain seeps through the only coat she owns
but on high street west there’s a place
a place she knows

[verse 2]
some days it won’t take much at all
you can fall just a semitone
but it’s enough to make you fold
and break your soul

[chorus]
and albert’s place has seen it all
the meat and coal when the big ships called
but maybe now its greatest day of all
brings tea and a cup of love
tea and a cup of love

[verse 3]
see the pensioner and the veteran
the unemployed, the homeless and the lost
the confused, misused, refused
gathered here

[verse 4]
but you’ll be surprised at who’s beside you
a businessman just wants to feed his kids
a nurse ashamed to cross that line
but arms welcome her
[chorus]
and albert’s place has seen it all
the meat and coal when the big ships called
but maybe now its greatest day of all
brings tea and a cup of love
tea and a cup of love

[instrumental break]

[verse 5]
it’s tattooed across his forearm
it’s a promise set in skin
the days that tried to destroy him
but albert let him in
room at the inn

[bridge]
the measure of a country’s prosperity
is not the wealth it holds
but in the absence of poverty
and equal opportunity for all

[chorus]
and albert’s place has seen it all
the meat and coal and the big ships tall
but maybe now its greatest moment of all
brings tea and a cup of love
clothes and a cup of love
shelter and furniture and a cup of love
humanity in a cup of love
[verse 1]
with head bowed low she walks on through her city
rain seeps through the only coat she owns
but on high street west there’s a place
a place she knows

- martyn joseph
