Goin' to Uni

I waved you goodbye as you left on the train Tears in my eyes, heart aching with pain They said you were clever, that you needed to go That we were too young, our love too shallow Didn't understand, what we felt for each other Me dad, your father, me mam, your mother Childhood sweethearts for ever together and never to part You'd been the secret I'd kept in my heart. We'd met in the park, you was playing cricket I'd rolled up me frock and stood in as wicket Go away little girl, your mates had cried I'm not little! I'm ten I'd lied You'd smiled, leave her alone and let her stay Don't be rotten lads, let her play I'd batted and ran and bowled you all out HOWZAT! For a girl, I'd cried with a shout We'd grown up together, you and I Into local comp girl and grammar school boy. I watched till your train went out of sight Your parents oblivious to my sad plight It's been a whole ten minutes! You said you'd phone Why, oh why do I feel so alone? It was only last night I helped you pack Now all that's left is an empty track. A year has passed, now I'm on the train I showed em' this girls got a brain Cos' I buckled down and got a scholarship too And that my sweet darlin' is one up on you!
