Any Broken Hearts To Mend? - 1938

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 21 Oct 2001

Street cries, street cries;
echoing around the town,
"Anything to mend?
There's ev'rything to mend,
all my schemes have broken down."

There's a tinker man
mends a pot or pan,
thro' the town his cry he'll send;
but nobody passes my way calling:
"Any broken hearts to mend?"
Chairs he'll mend for you;
old umbrellas too
if a few odd pence you'll spend
but nobody ever thinks of calling
"Any Broken Hearts To Mend?"
When the cry of
"Sweet scented lavender"
comes to haunt me so
I recall the scent of the lavender
when we met long ago.
List'ning to those cries,
I can realise
that my heartache will not end
till someone I love comes my way calling
Any Broken Hearts to Mend?

Street cries, street cries;
ev'ry morning when they start,
I am in despair,
for someone can repair
ev'rything but my poor heart.

There's a tinker man
mends a pot or pan,
thro' the town his cry he'll send;
but nobody passes my way calling:
"Any broken hearts to mend?"
