What a lovely song McGrath. Is it yours?
I remember the paper streamers that we held when we saw a relative off at the dock. 1948 it must have been. Passengers on the ship held one end of each streamer while someone on the shore held the other. As the ship pulled away the streamers broke one by one and everyone cried. I don't remember the relative who visited us but paper streamers make me cry. So do draught horses and big sailing ships and more and more songs that are not necessarily sad. Must be getting old and silly. Also I think I've told the ship and streamer story before. Old and silly it is!
