lyrics

Drink your milk from grandma's favourite tea cup
use the silver to spread jam upon your bread
the crystal is perfect for orange juice at breakfast
it isn't long before we're dead

A lace tablecloth picnic
wear your best dress to the park
and all the things you've been saving for someday
use them now before we part

hold my hand though i know that you can make it
laugh out loud no matter who's around
lift your chin and show your face to the sunshine
it isn't long before we're under ground

and you can read the leaves
in grandma's favourite tea cup
they'll tell you of a time to come
Dol, these things will soon be yours to remember
but don't forget to have some fun

drink a toast
and dance at your wedding
leave a picture in the place beside my name
and don't bring roses from your bouquet
to my graveside
I can't see them so it's all the same

and you can read the leaves
in grandma's favourite tea cup
they'll tell you of a time to come
Dol, these things will soon be yours to remember
but don't forget to have some fun

Drink your milk from grandma's favourite tea cup
use the silver to spread jam upon your bread
the crystal is perfect for orange juice at breakfast
it isn't long before we're dead
