Albert’s Place (Single Version) Lyrics by Martyn Joseph

2023

[Verse 1]
With head bowed low she walks on through her city
Rain seeps through the only coat she owns
But on High Street West there's a place
A place she knows
[Verse 2]
Some days it won't take much at all
You can fall just a semitone
But it's enough to make you fold
And break your soul
[Chorus]
And Albert's Place has seen it all
The meat and coal when the big ships called
But maybe now its greatest day of all
Brings tea and a cup of love
Tea and a cup of love
[Verse 3]
See the pensioner and the veteran
The unemployed, the homeless and the lost
The confused, misused, refused
Gathered here
[Verse 4]
But you'll be surprised at who's beside you
A businessman just wants to feed his kids
A nurse ashamed to cross that line
But arms welcome her
[Chorus]
And Albert's Place has seen it all
The meat and coal when the big ships called
But maybe now its greatest day of all
Brings tea and a cup of love
Tea and a cup of love
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
It's tattooed across his forearm
It's a promise set in skin
The days that tried to destroy him
But Albert let him in
Room at the inn
[Bridge]
The measure of a country's prosperity
Is not the wealth it holds
But in the absence of poverty
And equal opportunity for all
[Chorus]
And Albert's Place has seen it all
The meat and coal and the big ships tall
But maybe now its greatest moment of all
Brings tea and a cup of love
Clothes and a cup of love
Shelter and furniture and a cup of love
Humanity in a cup of love
[Verse 1]
With head bowed low she walks on through her city
Rain seeps through the only coat she owns
But on High Street West there's a place
A place she knows
