Remember when we were young
Our hearts were full of song
Now we're growing old
Our story all but told
We remember when we were young
Rambling we used to go
In the sunshine, wind, rain and snow
Rambling we'll go no more
Old age is at our door
We remember when we were young
Now I am alone
I sit beside the 'phone
Waiting for it to ring
From my angel on the wing
Remembering when we were young
My cup it is alf full
My Eyes growing dull
I awake each day with the lark
To a world that grows ever dark
Remembering when we were young
My time is almost come
My journey nearly run
For now I'll just sit here and sing
To my angel on the wing
When I hear my angel song
The light grows bright and strong I remember when we were young

Gazing
04:12

The other nightI lay gazing
The purple heather for my bed
Millions of stars they were shining
In the dark sky overhead
I saw one fall from the darkness
I made a wish as it is said
I realised as I lay there
My wish and star now were dead
So if you catch a falling star
Don't let it fade away
Keep it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day

Home

When home is not your home
But somewhere you had to flee
The place in your heart
When you're a refugee
The place for a new start
Now you're a refugee
Standing by the quay
Watching out to sea
Longing for the place you call home
Now you're a refugee
Ravaged by war
The place you had to flee
Families torn apart
Now you're a refugee
The place of your birth
A no go zone for you
Families and friends dispersed
Now you're a refugee

Childhood Scenes

As you travel on over the hill
Memories live with you still
Of your childhood scenes
Remembered in your dreams
See the jumbo rock ten feet tall
That's really big when you're small
Cycle the high tide line
For a takeaway supper fine
Jump over channels deep
Cut sea washed turf in bare feet
In your childhood scenes
Remembered in your dreams
Tractor drive at harvest time
The weather was not always fine
The flood waters floated the raft
Deliver the milk fore and aft
Learning the countryside ways
Why do cows always have girl names?
In your childhood dreams
Remembered in your dreams
Trampolining in the park
Stay there till way after dark
Drive around through the night
See the lights, coloured bright
Hike o're to Red Bank Mere
Refresh with nettle beer
In your childhood scenes
Remembered in your dreams
As you travel on over the hill
Memories live with you still
Off your childhood scenes
Remembered in your dreams
I said of my childhood scenes
Remembered in my dreams

The old man told a story
About his younger days
How his schooling was curtailed
The boy became a man
Charming and quite dapper
The 'photos do reveal
Gliding round the ballroom
His eyes saw only one
Where have you been all my days darling Billy
Where have you been all my days Billy boy
Poland was invaded
The second war did call
To serve his king and country
The young man left the shore
For Burma and the Far East
To fight the forgotten war
At Imphal and Kohima
The young man saw it all
His star kept on shining
And safely home was brought
To marry his dear sweetheart
Mary Celia Dunne
What did war do toy you darling Billy
What did war do to you Billy boy
He served his time apprentice
Into the printing trade
He put away his dance shoes
The family for to raise
Time passed so quickly
The family all have grown
Homes, Jobs, sweethearts
Pathways of their own
What will you do all the day darling Billy
What will you do all the day Billy boy
As we said our goodbyes
Remembering what had gone
Football, bowls, dahlias
Holidays having fun
The photographs and memories
They will linger on
He's gone but not forgotten
Farewell dear old man
What will we do all the day darling Billy
What will we do all the day Billy boy

Alone in the crowded room
Singing a different tune
Outside looking in
Inside looking out
Watching through the window
Envy the family glow
Outside looking in
Inside looking out
Conversations all around
Your voice not a sound
Outside looking in
Inside looking out
Exile in your own town
Unseen, unheard, invisible clown
Outside looking in
Inside looking out

Maypole Dance
04:57
|

|
Springtime in merry England
Dust down your pole of oak
With coloured ribbons and garlands
We'll do the Maypole dance
Plant your sturdy pole
Upon the village green
Practice your Morris tunes and steps
Make ready for the Maypole dance
Boy, girl, boy, girl
Hold those ribbons tight
Under and over, under and over
Weave those coloured patterns bright
Doing the Maypole dance
Maybe it's a pagan thing
Maybe the simple joy at spring
With coloured ribbons and garlanded
Go do the Maypole dance
