Oh England My Lionheart Lyrics

Kate Bush Oh England My Lionheart

Songwriters: Bush, Kate;

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 pool where that never, ever ends
Our Thumping hearts hold the Ravens in
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 the 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
Oh England My Lionheart
Oh England My Lionheart
I don't want to go
