St Swithin's Day Lyrics - Billy Bragg

Thinking back now, 

I suppose you were just stating your views 

What was it all for 

For the weather or the Battle of Agincourt 

And the times that we all hoped would last 

Like a train they have gone by so fast 

And though we stood together 

At the edge of the platform 

We were not moved by them 

With my own hands 

When I make love to your memory 

It's not the same 

I miss the thunder 

I miss the rain 

And the fact that you don't understand 

Casts a shadow over this land 

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 hold us together 

Will surely fade away 

Like the love that we spoke of forever 

On St Swithin's Day
