You left your toothbrush in my car
Inside your black hold-all bag
I dropped you there one last time
In the usual place
See you in an hour or so
But you never showed
I’m lost in sunshine and shadows
Looking for you in everything I do
It’s a long drive home
Those car trips were good
We would talk some
Then let the silence be
JC playing on the radio
Learned something new every time
The chemist where you worked
Five bob a week after school
Things I never knew
