Another leak in the pond, another lonely old day
It’s been 5 years, 3 days since you went away
But don’t worry ‘bout me ‘cos I’m doing fine
I’ve still got my friends, they’re called whisky and wine
I hear your new man’s a singer, and that makes me smile
I don’t miss you that much, ‘cept maybe once in a while
Once in a while, Hey once in a while
Though I know reflection was never your style
As you journey on down this long country mile
Maybe you’ll miss me once in a while
I hope that he makes you happy, brings joy to your life
The way that I never did, though God knows I tried
Is he good with our kids, is he good with your Mum
Does he worship the ground that you walk upon
Are there flowers for your birthday, does he love you all night
I don’t miss you that much, ‘cept maybe once in a while
They say you’ve moved down to Oxford, I guess you’ll like it there
You were never that fond, of this cold northern air
And you’ve got a new job, something in IT
Me, I’m still singing my songs, barely making ends meet
I still see raindrops and starlight when I think of your eyes
But I don’t miss you that much, ‘cept maybe once in a while
Once in a while, Hey once in a while
Though I know reflection was never your style
As you journey on down this long country mile
Maybe you’ll miss me once in a while
