On my own

I`m sat here all alone
with a house full of kids
all hidden in their rooms
treating home like their own digs

there`s food in the larder
and a meal on the table
but they`re in their bedrooms
with all chores incapable

so I`m sat watching TV
curling up on sofa chilling
maybe they`ll come say hi
makes a drink, if they`re willing

gone are the day`s we shared
for now it`s not the same
I`m not at their beck and call
just sat here on my own again
