The Day The Ravens Left The Tower (Live at the Boston Orpheum, 1985)

歌詞

I've swept the floors of all my kings I've opened doors and let the tourists in Days of wine and roses Prime ministers, red robes These days are gone I've stood on guard as my Queens were born I've cut the grass on many English lawns Of strawberries and ice cream Of cricket and cold beer These days London Tower's burning. Parliament's ablaze Buckingham Palace has gone Somewhere in the distance my darling she's a crying I should be by her side This is the day the ravens left the tower This is the day the ravens fly away Fly away, fly away. Fly away, fly away. Fly away I've stood on the Changing of the Guards To the Bloody Tower watching the Crown Jewels A penny for the guy sir? Will you vote left or right? These days London Bridge is falling. St. Pauls Cathedral bums The tower blocks are gone Somewhere in the distance my darlings she's a crying I should be by her side. This is the day the ravens left the tower This is the day the ravens fly away Fly away, fly away (fly away) Fly away, fly away (fly away) Fly away, fly away (fly away) Fly away, fly away And if I live to see the dawning of the day I hope I'm in your arms as we get swept away Oh darling I will be home soon Darling I will be home soon (Ring a ring a roses, a pocket full of posies Atishoo, Atishoo, we all fall down)
