Jim writes great songs, here's my favourite Mr Eternity © Jim Low When I was a child walking down the street I’d see this strange word written, written at my feet Eternity was what it read, I asked my Dad just what it said And it meant forever, and ever and ever Always, always Chorus: And Mr Eternity The man whom we never see In the early light of day With his chalk he’d write away Eternity, Eternity What to a young child could this strange word mean A day, a week, a year, to some it might have seemed Another year to Christmas seemed eternity And a week to Saturday’s pictures was like forever to me The city streets he wrote on no longer seemed the same When Mr Eternity left this life Eternity to claim And when the word in yellow chalk faded from my view I knew a part of childhood had disappeared too And it went forever, and ever and ever Always, always video
