Biography:
Al Stewart (born in Glasgow, Scotland on 5 September 1945) is a British songwriter and musician. He is best known for his 1976 single Year of the Cat and its 1978 follow-up Time Passages (both produced by Alan Parsons). Stewart's inspiration for his songs primarily comes from the past; indeed, he is credited with creating his own genre, "historical folk rock". At one time in his life, Stewart took guitar lessons from King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp.

And my grandmother sits on the beach in the days before the war

Young girl writing her diary, while time seems to pause

Watching the waves as they come one by one to die on the shore

Kissing the feeeeeeeeeeet of England.

Oh the lights of Saint Petersburg come on as usual

Although the air seems charged with a strangeness of late, yet there's nothing to touch

An archduke was shot down in Bosnia, but nothing much

And my grandmother sits before the mirror in the days before the war

Smiling a secret smile as she goes to the door

D A G
Ah the day we decided to drive down to Worthing, it rained and rained
D A G
Giving us only a minute to stand by the sea
D A G
And crunching my way through the shingles, it seemed there was nothing changed
D A G
Though the jetty was maybe more scarred that I'd known it to be
D
A D
And Mandi and I stood and stared at the overcast sky
Bb D G
Where ten years ago we had stood, my Grandfather and I
Bb D
And the waves still rushed in as they had the year that he died
Bb D
And it seemed that my lifetime was shrunken and lost in the tide
Bb A D
As it rose and fell on the sideeeeeeeeeee of England
G D G D
D A F
Prince Louis Battenberg is burning the Admiralty lights
A Simple Tune To Play. Enjoy............
