Oh England My Lionheart --------------- Author: Kate Bush Album title: Lionheart --------------- Oh England My Lionheart, I'm in your garden fading fast in your arms The soldiers soften, the war is over The air-raid shelters are blooming clover, Flapping umbrellas fill the lanes My London Bridge in rain again Oh England My Lionheart Peter Pan steals the kids in Kensington Park You read me Shakespeare on the Rolling Thames, That old River Post that never, ever ends Our Thumping hearts hold the Ravens in, And keep the tower from tumbling Chorus: Oh England My Lionheart I don't want to go Oh England My Lionheart Dropped from my Black Spitfire to my funeral barge, Give me one kiss in the appleblossom, Give me one wish and I'd be wassailing In the orchard my English Rose, Or with my shepherd who'll bring me home Chorus:
