Lyrics
When the snow came down
Happy faces around
And they’d call at your front door
And the Earth she’d sleep
Under gas lit streets
I don’t know you England anymore
Now the sunlight falls
And the memories they call
So the fondness still remains
But the pride has gone
Where it once stood strong
I still love you England but you’ve changed
Now I see her face in every comrades face
And her honour’s not gone
Just forgotten and lost in the race
With a slap on the back grab your boots and your cap
And we’ll sing to the good times we’ve known
And we’ll all take the long way home
(instrumental)
Now I see her face in every comrades face
And her honour’s not gone
Just forgotten and lost in the race
With a slap on the back grab your boots and your cap
And we’ll sing to the good times we’ve known
And we’ll all take the long way home
The rain falls down
On the roofs of the town
And it plays on my window pane
Does the Earth she cry?
As we all hurry by
I still love you England just the same
I still love you England but you’ve changed
I still love you England
When the snow came down
Happy faces around
And they’d call at your front door
And the Earth she’d sleep
Under gas lit streets
I don’t know you England anymore
Now the sunlight falls
And the memories they call
So the fondness still remains
But the pride has gone
Where it once stood strong
I still love you England but you’ve changed
Now I see her face in every comrades face
And her honour’s not gone
Just forgotten and lost in the race
With a slap on the back grab your boots and your cap
And we’ll sing to the good times we’ve known
And we’ll all take the long way home
(instrumental)
Now I see her face in every comrades face
And her honour’s not gone
Just forgotten and lost in the race
With a slap on the back grab your boots and your cap
And we’ll sing to the good times we’ve known
And we’ll all take the long way home
The rain falls down
On the roofs of the town
And it plays on my window pane
Does the Earth she cry?
As we all hurry by
I still love you England just the same
I still love you England but you’ve changed
I still love you England
