KATE BUSH - Oh England My Lionheart lyrics

rate me

Oh! englandmy lionheart

I'm in your gardenfading fast in your arms.

The soldiers softenthe war is over.

The air raid shelters are blooming clover.

Flapping umbrellas fill the lanes--

My london bridge in rain again.

Oh! englandmy lionheart!

Peter pan steals the kids in kensington park.

You read me shakespeare on the rolling thames--

That old river poet that neverever ends.

Our thumping hearts hold the ravens in

And keep the tower from tumbling.

Oh! englandmy lionheart

Oh! englandmy lionheart

Oh! englandmy lionheart

I don't want to go.

Oh! englandmy lionheart!

Dropped from my black spitfire to my funeral barge.

Give me one kiss in apple-blossom.

Give me one wishand I'd be wassailing

In the orchardmy english rose

Or with my shepherdwho'll bring me home.

Oh! englandmy lionheart

Oh! englandmy lionheart

Oh! englandmy lionheart

I don't want to go.

Oh! englandmy lionheart

Oh! englandmy lionheart

Oh! englandmy lionheart

I don't want to go.
