[00:01.032]What do I do with all the children's clothes?
[00:05.290]Such tiny things that still smell of them
[00:11.637]And the footprints in the hallway
[00:16.000]On to my knees, scrub them away
[00:24.098]
[00:41.077]And how to be of use?
[00:42.566]Make the tea and the soup
[00:44.865]All of their favourites, throw them away
[00:50.455]And all their school books and their running shoes
[00:54.504]Washing them clean in the dirty steel sink
[01:08.950]Routine keeps me in line
[01:15.899]Helps me pass the time
[01:23.030]Concentrates my mind
[01:30.109]Helps me to sleep
[01:40.506]Keep making beds, keep the cat fed
[01:44.294]Open the windows, let the air in
[01:49.988]Keep the house clean, keep the routine
[01:53.881]Paintings they made still stuck to the fridge
[01:59.575]
[05:10.243]Keep cleaning, keep ironing
[05:14.162]Cooking their meals on the stainless steel hob
[05:19.856]Keep washing, keep scrubbing
[05:23.827]Long until the dark comes to bruise the sky
[05:32.578]Deep in the debt to night
[05:41.930]
[06:11.370]Routine keeps me in line
[06:18.710]Helps me pass the time
[06:33.208]Helps me to sleep.
[06:42.821]Routine keeps me in line
[06:49.926]Helps me pass the time
[07:04.424]Helps me to sleep.
[07:37.156]The most beautiful morning forever
[07:49.172]Like the ones from far off, far off away
[08:01.032]With the hum of the bees in the jasmine sway
[08:10.514]Don't ever let go
[08:16.209]Try to let go
[08:22.400]Don't ever let go
[08:28.408]Try to let go
[08:36.297]Don't ever.
