In Search Of England Lyrics - Barclay James Harvest

THE BOY: 

I was cast adrift, without a hope 

My only friend is my old boat 

With an empty sea and an open sky 

A void no man can justify. 

THE OLD MAN: 

Your sacrifices will ensure 

A port of refuge ever more. 

Lost and drowned 

We'll wait 'till England's found 

Again. 

THE BOY: 

I was torn between what was good and right 

And those who told me when to fight 

So they left me here and they sailed away 

To sink or swim 'til Judgement Day. 

THE OLD MAN: 

Your sacrifices will ensure 

A port of refuge ever more. 

Lost and drowned 

We'll wait 'till England's found 

Again. 

THE BOY: 

I was cast adrift.
