ST SWITHINS DAY by Kirsty MacColl (written by Billy Bragg)
CG Thinking back now FCG I suppose you were just stating your views CG What was it all for FCG For the weather or the battle of Agincourt FG And the times that we all hoped would last AmF Like a train they have gone by so fast FCG And though we stood together at the edge of the platform CG We were not moved by them
CG With my own hands FCG As I make love to your memory CG It's not the same FCG I miss the thunder I miss the rain FG And the fact that you don't understand AmF Casts a shadow over this land CGCG 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 keep us together Will surely fade away Like the love that we spoke of forever On St. Swithins Day
