When You Last Heard From Linda Songtext
von Field Music

When you last heard from Linda
Before she wanted you to know
Didn′t ask for you to see her
In case you should fall over
On telling you the story
And only leave you sorry
Though you asked her to
Could she tell you so


When you last heard from Linda
From the tremble as she spoke
You had to check the number
In case you'd not remembered
The girls you were in Hylton
Courting boys and drinking
The Eagle eves and working days
Two mortgages and children
Exotic plants and caravan
And lagers in the garden
You shared them all and loved them
Did she ever know?

When you last heard from Linda
She asked if you were happy
An early snap in winter
She knew would make you wonder
If your boys and hers would ever
Be settled and contented
Grown up like their daddies were
And needing nothing new
And happy till the end
Always the very best of friends

How could she leave you?
When you needed her so
Do you think she knew?
