(C) 2014 Liam Brigg

Running Like Clockwork

Performed at Leeds Lieder Festival 2016

Soprano: Rachel Dangerfield
Pianist: Ben Cockburn

Words: Gail Mosley

6 a.m.  sound on the landing,
foot-steal, sniff, whisper breath,
I know you’re there;

soft creak on the second stair.
I listen, alert to the shift from 
woollen tread to polished floor,

time a tip-toe run,
sense the door’s quick click, 
a shuffle-shut sigh,

and from that safe room 
a muffled rising chirrup;
I catch your song.

In half an hour I’ll creep down,
make tea, settle beside you, 
watch Frozen, Kermit, Mr Bean.
