Pub garden

sitting on a chair in a pub garden by the riverside

sitting here watching all the boats sail by

it is such a hot day as I sit here under the shade

slipping at my ice-cold orange juice

seeing kids play in the pub garden 

on the swings and down the slide

mother with babe in arms  helping their little one down the slide

oh the sound of their laugher

is so great

watching the bird around  playing on the ground 

one sounds and they rush up to the trees

and i hear a bumblebee oh I hope it doesn't sting me 

see it dancing in and out of the flowers

flying back home there making honey for my tea

and the ducks on the water swimming by 

oh how life is at peace

and there a gentle breeze on my face

oh soon it will be time to go back home

the sun is being to sleep 

it neither dusk nor dark 

 just that magical time of day 

children are going home

 the play park  is almost empty 

car door are being banged and 

cars are going on their way 

now its time for me to go 

my home is five minutes away

and when i am home 

and by my warm fire

i can remember this day 

when i was sat in a pub garden 

watching the world go by
