It was a coal town. He spent his whole life in a hole in the ground Smashing pieces of earth. He never really saw the sky. It was a hard life. But little black rocks make televisions work And put food on the table. Until the unions cast him aside. Now there's a hundred challenging things a boy can do. And you've waved goodbye and held more tears in than anyone ever should. And all my sorrows pale to insignificance. That's why I love you. She was in a strange land. She taught herself to read from doing crosswords and hiding her accent. She cast her dreams aside. She had a spark in her eye. She never saw her son on his wedding day or our cherry blossoms falling down From the sky. Now there's a hundred challenging things a boy can do. And you've waved goodbye and held more tears in than anyone ever should. And all my sorrow pales to insignificance. That's why I love you. No coal mines. No not a trace. Now shopping malls take their place. No picket lines. The sacrifice. Dreams overrun. Hopes for a future for her son in Ollerton. And there's a hundred challenging things a boy can do. And you've waved goodbye and held more tears in than anyone ever should. All my sorrows pale in to insignificance. That's why she loves you. A hundred challenging things a boy can do. Wave goodbye. Wave goodbye. A hundred challenging. Say goodbye to you.
