English trees in my garden They planted seeds in a faraway land In between the palms and the succulent grow They lose their leaves in the winter Mark the seasons for him and for her Once upon a time in the fallen snow Up against the sky made a silhouette show England cries and she plays for him Her chords entwined like a requiem And though it's springtime and color is new In Regent's Park I will mourn for you And I must be wise somehow 'Cause my heart's been broken down It's so far to fall And so hard to climb Nothing sadder I know Than the passing of time ♪ You won't forget me You won't forget me English trees in my garden Summer's missed you my darling All your crimes are forgiven Yeah, all your crimes are forgiven And I must be wise somehow You won't forget me You won't forget me And England cries (England cries) ♪ There's English trees in my garden
