The Blue Days - Dreams of England

The New York winter's cold and long
The daylight hours short
Those English summer days of old
Are often in my thoughts
When we were together and
We said we were in love
With no worries on this earth
Only blue skies above

I've been dreaming dreams of England
Seeing your face in the clouds
Remembering days of long ago
When the world was ours

Frozen on 27th Street
Hiding my face from the wind
Thinking of Lazy Sunday
Afternoons in London
Sunshine on Highgate Hill
Meet you in Camden Town
Sirens on Eighth Avenue
Scatter my thoughts to the ground

I've been dreaming dreams of England
Seeing your face in the crowds
Remembering days of long ago
When the world was ours
I'm three thousand miles and five hours away
Rain is falling on Broadway
It's just like Leicester Square she says
But it's different in every way

In my mind, I'm floating away
In English Summer Sunlight
Gazing from the top of the Tor
I think I see my childhood
Drifting away forever
In a watercolour sky
It's there for a fleeting moment
So happy I could cry

So I sing this song of England
Under the New York sky
Remembering days of long ago
When the world was ours
