The key

 

We were handed the key
We washed the mugs clean
We leaned on that 100 pounds a week
The office was dark and serene
We three collected the full rubbish bin
Then we drove off by ford fiesta
To our flat in night siesta

 

One day we lost the key
We searched everywhere keen
Going back and forth where we had been
We didn’t know anyone on the scene
All we’ve seen were their scattered teas
We had no idea but to search
We walked around
Until we saw something on the roadside glean
It was the key that we were looking for
It was what we really need
It was what we really needed
