Merry England |
Waiting on a station platform for a change of train |
Seems whenever I’m in Preston that it always rains |
Just today from moving on to play another town |
I’ve no way of knowing where tonight I lay me down |
Merry England, though your heart is warm, your hands are cold |
And I’d like to think I’m growing up, as well as growing old |
But it’s been weeks since I’ve been smiled on by a face I knew |
And I’ve started thinking every pretty woman looks like you |
Blackpool in December found me wandering forlorn |
Remembering what a child felt when the carnival had gone |
Can’t gain on the roundabouts or lose upon the swing |
Too late for the summer days, too early for the spring |
Merry England, though your heart is warm, your hands are cold |
And I’d like to think I’m growing up, as well as growing old |
But it’s been weeks since I’ve been smiled on by a face I knew |
And I’ve started thinking every pretty woman looks like you |
Looks like you traveled round beside me in a song |
Having you to come back home to helped me get along |
But it’s been weeks since I been smiled on by a face I knew |
And I’ve started thinking every pretty woman looks like you |
