St. Swithin's Day by Billy Bragg

St. Swithin's Day Lyrics

[00:00.42] Thinking back now,
[00:23.51] I suppose you were just stating your views
[00:30.46] What was it all for
[00:34.36] For the weather or the Battle of Agincourt
[00:39.95] And the times that we all hoped would last
[00:44.71] Like a train they have gone by so fast
[00:49.07] And though we stood together
[00:52.12] At the edge of the platform
[00:54.29] We were not moved by them.
[00:58.13] With my own hands
[01:19.82] When I make love to your memory
[01:25.57] It's not the same
[01:29.09] I miss the thunder
[01:33.40] I miss the rain
[01:35.91] And the fact that you don't understand
[01:41.02] Casts a shadow over this land
[01:45.62] But the sun still shines from behind it.
[01:53.30] Thanks all the same
[02:15.19] But I just can't bring myself to answer your letters
[02:22.26] It's not your fault
[02:26.06] But your honesty touches me like a fire
[02:31.84] The Polaroids that hold us together
[02:36.92] Will surely fade away
[02:41.47] Like the love that we spoke of forever
[02:45.81] On St. Swithin's Day.
[02:58.72]
