St Swithin's Day Lyrics by Billy Bragg
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Thinking back now
I suppose you were just stating your views
What was it all for
For the weather or the Battle of Agincourt

And the times that we all hoped would last
Like a train they have gone by so fast
And though we stood together at the edge of the platform
We were not moved by them

With my own hands
When I make love to your memory
It's not the same
I miss the thunder, I miss the rain

And the fact that you don't understand
Casts a shadow over this land
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 hold us together
Will surely fade away
Like the love that we spoke of forever
On St. Swithin's Day
Thinking back now   I suppose you were just stating your views   What was it all for   For the weather or the Battle of Agincourt      And the times that we all hoped would last   Like a train they have gone by so fast   And though we stood together at the edge of the platform   We were not moved by them      With my own hands   When I make love to your memory   It's not the same   I miss the thunder, I miss the rain      And the fact that you don't understand   Casts a shadow over this land   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 hold us together   Will surely fade away   Like the love that we spoke of forever   On St. Swithin's Day
