You were so smart then in your jacket and coat,
My softest red scarf was warming your throat.
Winter was on us at the end of my nose,
And I never love England more than when covered in snow.
But a friend of mine say's it's good to hear that you believe in love,
even if said in fear.
Well I'll hold you there brother and set you straight,
I only believe true love is frail and willing to break.
I will come back here, bring me back when I'm old,
I want to lay here forever in the cold.
I might be cold but I'm just skin and bones,
And I never love England more that when covered in snow.
I wrote my name in your book, only God knows why,
And I bet you that he cracked a smile.
And I'm clearing all the crap out of my room,
Trying desperately to figure out what it is that makes me blue.
And I wrote a big letter to you,
And it's twenty-two pages front and back,
But it's too good to be used.
And I try to be a girl who likes to be used,
I'm too good for that, there's a mind under this hat.
And I called them all and told them I've got to move.
I'm on my own, it's too hard,
I'm on my own, it's too hard,
Feel like running, feel like running,
Run it off.
And we will keep you, we will keep you,
Little one, safe from harm,
Like an extra arm you are part of us.
You were so smart then in your jacket and coat,
My softest red scarf was warming your throat.
Winter will leave us, left the end of my nose.
Goodbye old England until next year's snow.
