Lyrics The Rubettes

The Rubettes

Sometime in Oldchurch

Dear sweet sister release me

Save this old man agony

I've seen sunshine and I've seen rain

For such a long time I've been in pain

Brother, oh brother life's long friend

Help me 'round life's last bend

Threw up my life

You help me

Now to painless heaven

Oh release me

Life has been good

Life has been kind

When my life got tough

I did not mind

Now I'm old

Needing my death

Turn out my light

Take my last breath

Mother, oh mother

Good and kind

Leave these tired bones of pain

Far far behind

Father, oh father

All of my life you've shown

You've shown me the right direction

Please take me home

You've shown me the right direction

Please take me home.
