lirik lagu ren stedman - alfred parkes

[verse 1]
he’s wearing thin
just like the crumpled shirt and bleach stained trousers he was in
n0body asked old alfie where he’d been
for fourteen days
he’s still the same
significantly older but still stuck in his old ways
he’s worked here his whole life and even then
n0body knows his name

[chorus 1]
he clocks in around 9 a.m.
repeats the same old shift again
his eyes glaze over just to stay awake
he’s always there on time
but with no rise since ’89
when his hairline was intact
and his wife was still alive

[verse 2]
he hangs his coat
on the peg just by the door and there’s a tightness in his throat
alfie says he knows just how to change but won’t
’cause he’ll always be afraid
he lays in bed
sees the empty side next to him where his wife would lay her head
every night before the lights went out he would listen as she said
“i’ll never go away”
[chorus 2]
the ceiling looks so bare at night
his shadow casts against the light
that’s shining from the headlights on the road
he says a prayer to mrs parkes
and feels her presence in the dark
she whispers promise me you won’t let go
you’ve so much to give
if only they would know

[bridge]
alfred parkes, a quiet man
his silence meant they didn’t understand
lived through wars to tell the day
but n0body would even look his way

[chorus 3]
because these new kids in the office came
and took half of his work away
and now he’s earning half of his old wage
the new kids said, “it’s time to leave”
but alfred said, “i need this please
it’s the only thing i have left
and i need something to hold onto since she’s gone
and i’m holding tight but barely hanging on”
