Laura – Alf

Best friends all their loves
Careless and free in the fields.
But other lives call.

She is drawn away
Candleford post office calls
And so off she goes.

He has a family
Responsibility calls
With a drunken ma.

She meets new people,
Namely a young gamekeeper
He has a rival.

Laura doesn't know
She doesn't even notice
But took Alf's heart.

He tried to tell her
Over a warm cooking pot
In a cosy home.

She turns him away
Guess she can't really help it
Love's victims once more.
