[00:00.19]Let Me Put It This Way
[00:02.23]by Simon Armitage
[00:04.16]Let me put it this way:
[00:08.55]if you came to lay
[00:11.24]your sleeping head
[00:12.67]against my arm or sleeve,
[00:14.05]and if my arm went dead,
[00:16.79]or if I had to take my leave
[00:19.08]at midnight, I should rather
[00:22.39]cleave it from the joint or seam
[00:24.94]than make a scene
[00:27.39]or bring you round.
[00:29.67]There,
[00:31.46]how does that sound?
