lyrics

Ida you were singing when I was young
Arthur would be drinking while the radio was on
Oh, Ida I remember the days that are now gone
You’d wave to me from the balcony in the evening sun

Ida please walk through the door
For I can’t recognize the world anymore
Ida stay don’t fade away
A tombstone won’t replace your soul today

Ida you were shivering when Arthur passed away
You survived a war but not love’s decay
Oh, Ida now we stand here on the gravest day
Again the sound of shovelled ground crashes where you lay

Ida please walk through the door
For I can’t recognize the world anymore
Ida stay don’t fade away
A tombstone won’t replace your soul today

Ida please walk through the door
For I can’t recognize the world anymore
Ida stay don’t fade away
A tombstone won’t replace your soul today, today
