Another mood song for you...
St Swithin's Day.
Thinking back now
I suppose you were just stating your views
What was it all for?
For the weather or the Battle of Agincourt?
And the times that we all hoped would last,
Like a train have gone by so fast
And though we stood together at the edge of the platform,
We were not moved by them.
With my own hands
When I make love to your memory
It's not the same;
I miss the thunder,
I miss the rain.
And the fact that you don't understand
Casts a shadow over this land,
But the sun still shines from behind it.
Thanks all the same
But I just can't bring myself to answer your letters.
It's not your fault
But your honesty touches me like a fire.
The Polaroids that hold us together
Will surely fade away
Like the love that we spoke of forever
On St Swithin's Day.
Billy Bragg.
