ST SWITHINS DAY by Kirsty MacColl (written by Billy Bragg)

                C      G  

Thinking back now

          F C G

I suppose you were just stating your views

C    G          

What was it all for

        F C G

For the weather or the battle of Agincourt

F                                    G

And the times that we all hoped would last

Am F

Like a train they have gone by so fast

              F                     C           G

And though we stood together at the edge of the platform

C         G

We were not moved by them

C    G  

With my own hands

       F C     G

As I make love to your memory

C   G

It's not the same

F C    G

I miss the thunder I miss the rain

F                                    G

And the fact that you don't understand

Am F

Casts a shadow over this land

             C      G C G

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 keep us together

Will surely fade away

Like the love that we spoke of forever

On St. Swithins Day
