John Smith - England Rolls Away - Live Solo Acoustic Performance lyrics

Artist: John Smith

album: The Mark Radcliffe Folk Sessions: John Smith


I woke up in an alleyway
In Liverpool, the ship of fools was sinking
As I rose up from the depths
I stumbled down the road aways
Found London in a haze of weary violence
Hard to get my rest
In looking for the best of her
Well, I have seen the worst she's had to offer
But there's nothing I'll not keep
England

Blood on the thorn of an English rose
I gather belongings, travelling clothes
Now slowly drifting out of London
It could be a year
It could be ten
Until she begs me back again
And all my miles are measured in an inch
Every fear that's taken over
This wide-eyed waking, rambling rover
Has grown within the heart that is my home
England!
England!
England!
England rolls away
