Kaleidoscope - Ravenswing lyrics

rate me

Remember me to Ravenswing<br />

Where the windows face the sea<br />

Where the pillows smell of lavender<br />

All those nights come back to me<br />

<br />

Say hello to the Yellow Duke<br />

He taught me this waltz<br />

On the dance-floor of the clifftop<br />

He was a partner to us all<br />

<br />

Remember me to Ravenswing<br />

Where the boys all hang out<br />

Give them this token of my love<br />

Let them try to work it out<br />

<br />

Say hello to Julian<br />

With his fire-cracker smile<br />

He is still the finest tree<br />

Along this barren, stony mile<br />

<br />

Take me back, take me back<br />

Ah, take me back, take me back<br />

Take me back<br />

<br />

Remember me to Ravenswing<br />

On that island small and white<br />

We left something of our lives behind<br />

On that frantic August night<br />

<br />

Susan wore her famous dress<br />

And smoked her favourite fire<br />

We made love without a sound<br />

With need but no desire<br />

<br />

How many times have I looked for that place<br />

Remembered its essence but forgotten its face<br />

High on that hill overlooking the sea<br />

In the room at the top of the stairs<br />

I see Susan and me<br />

<br />

Remember me to Ravenswing<br />

Remember me to the boys<br />

Tell them our lives are like love-letters<br />

That will never be destroyed<br />

<br />

Cut them a branch of thorns and a rose<br />

Take them this song they can sing<br />

Carry them to those young men<br />
