This Box of mine

Kathyn Ann Boyce 1966 (Cardiff)

Just follow the driveway
To this lonely world of mine
You'll find me waiting'
In this Box of mine

Not so very long ago
You walked away from me
And after all the plans we made
You decided to be free

Loneliness surrounds me
Without your arms around me
And the sun will never shine
In this box of mine

I keep waiting' in this lonely room
Just in case you change your mind

You'll find me waiting
In this box of mine
