The song also tries to encompass the struggle of Christine Adams (May's niece) who made a promise to complete the house after Mays death in 1993. You can find out more about May in the books that document her life 'A Lifetime In The Building' and 'Miss Savidge Moves Her House' both written by Michael McMahon and Christine Adams. lyrics Brown paper parcels, boxes and bags a house with a story to tell of love and loss and paths that crossed A promise to be fulfilled In '53 came the news they would raise that house to the ground without a care for the hopes and dreams of the woman who called it home Chorus: Was there ever such a dreamer under the Norfolk skies there are worse troubles at sea for the blue lady and me Beam by beam, tile and stone she made her mark on everyone, carried away with this labour of love until the time had come One hundred miles of open road they carried each beam, tile and stone to a place next the sea one woman and all she’d owned Chorus Through endless days, and endless nights, she kept diaries by candlelight boxes so high, row after row working tirelessly and alone 23 years of devotion And a broken heart tied up with string Outside a nightingale sings What will tomorrow bring Chorus
