English trees in my garden   We planted seeds in a faraway land   In between the palms and the succulent grove      They lose their leaves in the winter   Mark the seasons for him and for her   Once upon a time in the fallen snow   Up against the sky made a silhouette show      England cries and she plays for him   Two chords entwined like a requiem   Although it’s springtime, colour is new   In Regent’s Park, I will mourn for you      And I must be wise somehow   ‘Cause my heart’s been broken down      It’s so far to fall   And so hard to climb   Nothing’s sadder, I know   Than the passing of time      Won’t forget me   You won’t forget me      English trees in my garden   Summer’s missed you, my darling   And all your crimes are forgiven   Yeah, all your crimes are forgiven      And I must be wise somehow      English trees in my garden
