MRS FISHER Derek Brimstone She's closed her eyes just for a while and mem'ries come calling into her mind Poor Mrs Fisher, tired and weary, sits by the fireside, the long day behind Now she's all cosy, dozy and dreaming and the jumper she's knitting falls from her hand And from the wall a picture looks down a gentle face, a smiling man Ah yes the picture smiles down from the wall. What are you dreaming, poor Mrs Fisher, and what do you whisper, and why do you smile? She shares her dream with the man in the picture happy together, just for a while And once again, they scheme and plan the laughing girl with the smiling man And it's ten years ago on the holiday seashore walking beside her, holding her hand While the picture smiles down from the wall. Now safely upstairs young children are sleeping and they dream where they're going and they dream where they've been And in a drawer of the dressing-room table there's a small brown case all lined with green And in the case in the drawer in the bedroom there's another picture of the smiling man, Another picture of a place in Naples, two shiny medals, and a telegram While the picture smiles down from the wall. And all down the years her dream's been the same and every evening they meet once again She tells him all that's happened today the smiling man who lies far away She's closed her eyes just for a while and mem'ries come calling into her mind Poor Mrs Fisher, tired and weary, sleep by the fireside, the long day behind While the picture smiles down from the wall. NB: This is as I sang it last night at the Singaround; differences from your version above, of which only one or two seem signifiant, are in italics. I originally transcribed it from a sampler LP, but I can't go back yet to check it, as our record machine hasn't been set up properly yet (we only moved here 16 years ago). Hope this helps. |

But if it's a live recording, then No --- what I have is from a studio LP without audience; "Very Good Time" (Rubber RUB 005), according to the sleeve notes on the sampler. |
