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

But I never love England
More than when covered in snow


But a friend of mine says it's good to hear
That you believe in love even if set in fear
well I'll hold you there brother and set you straight

I wont make believe that 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 than 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 stuff out of my room

trying desperately to figure out
What it is that makes me blue
and I wrote in a big letter to you

And it's 22 pages front and back
And it's too good to be used
and I tried 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 out man , it's too hard


Feel like running, feel like running
Running 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
and my softest red scarf was warming your throat
Winter will leave us, left the end of my nose

So goodbye old England 'till next years snow
