"Oh! England, My Lionheart"
Lionheart
Written by Kate Bush
- 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 poet that never, ever ends.
- Our thumping hearts hold the ravens in,
- And keep the tower from tumbling.
- Oh! England, my Lionheart,
- Oh! England, my Lionheart,
- 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 apple-blossom.
- Give me one wish, and I'd be wassailing
- In the orchard, my English rose,
- Or with my shepherd, who'll bring me home.
- Oh! England, my Lionheart,
- Oh! England, my Lionheart,
- Oh! England, my Lionheart,
- I don't want to go.
- Oh! England, my Lionheart,
- Oh! England, my Lionheart,
- Oh! England, my Lionheart,
- I don't want to go.
