I was thinking of the victims of lockdown and beyond
I am not there, I could not keep
The wolf from baying at the door
The bills that piled up ever more
The stock that spoiled I cannot sell
A shop no more, it's just a shell.
No customers to greet with smiles
No bumping baskets in the aisles
No half day closing, Sundays off
A victim of persistent cough
Where go I next, I cannot tell
The virus pealed my dream's death knell
Do not stand at my store and weep
I sadly had it put to sleep

Do not Stand at my Store and Weep
Do not stand at my store and weepI am not there, I could not keep
The wolf from baying at the door
The bills that piled up ever more
The stock that spoiled I cannot sell
A shop no more, it's just a shell.
No customers to greet with smiles
No bumping baskets in the aisles
No half day closing, Sundays off
A victim of persistent cough
Where go I next, I cannot tell
The virus pealed my dream's death knell
Do not stand at my store and weep
I sadly had it put to sleep
