The Kilburn High Road

歌詞

Many's the day I took for granted Breathing the air that silenced some As the north wind blew with its head of thunder Beating its breast with a war drenched song Bathe a while, awash in slumber Cry what's left to sleep Where you dream of the love you left forever But pity no more, nor grieve For we're the kings of it all the day we were born Now we're the kings of the Kilburn High Sure we'll always take a drop and we'll never leave a sup Your empty glass is but a tear filled eye We were the kings of the Kilburn High Listen to the sound of dead men dying March as they flee but exiled bound Their ship once sailed no longer anchors For gone is the green of their hallowed ground Toast to tears of time's past glories This ageless clock chime stalls Where to kiss the lips of that love forgotten To fly where no others have soared For we're the kings of it all the day we were born Now we're the kings of the Kilburn High Sure we'll always take a drop and we'll never leave a sup Your empty glass is but a tear filled eye We were the kings of the Kilburn High We were the kings of the Kilburn High Toast to tears of time's past glories This ageless clock chime stalls Where to kiss the lips of that love forgotten To fly where no others have soared For we're the kings of it all the day we were born Now we're the kings of the Kilburn High Sure we'll always take a drop and we'll never leave a sup Your empty glass is but a tear filled eye For we're the kings of it all the day we were born Now we're the kings of the Kilburn High Sure we'll always take a drop and we'll never leave a sup Your empty glass is but a tear filled eye We were the kings of the Kilburn High We were the kings of the Kilburn Oh, Mary this London's a wonderful sight
