lyrics

Matthew I come here every Monday
I have done for all these years
In the Memorial Gardens it's quiet
Only the wind in the trees to see my tears

I waited
I waited
For you to come back to me
All I ever wanted to be
Was Mrs Matthew Duffy

Matthew your name's here under your brother's
Carved in a block of stone
They all used to come here- mothers and lovers
But nowadays I'm here all on my own, my love

I waited
I waited
For you to come back to me
All I ever wanted to be
Was Mrs Matthew Duffy

Matthew I read your letters this morning
Took me back eighty years
Mud on the pages, written in trenches
And smudged by a young girl's worried tears, my love

I waited
I waited
For you to come back to me
All I ever wanted to be
Was Mrs Matthew Duffy

Matthew, it's me, I'm still Sarah Mercer
I pray for the moment when
I get to close my eyes for the last time
And run to your open arms again, my love

I waited
I waited
For you to come back to me
All I ever wanted to be
Was Mrs Matthew Duffy
