- ENGLISH LOVE SONG
-
- I discover new wisdom
Every year that goes by
But I only learn
How much I knew already
And the stones I turn
Have all been turned already
-
- So take this English love
song
Whiter than Dover, deep as Durham coal
So take my English love song
Proud as the millstone, endless as the roll
Of Norfolk cloud
Or Cornish sea
Sweet as the heather
-
- I acquire possession
From the money I earn
But the things I buy
Could all be bought by others
And the day I die
Will give their love to others
-
- So take this English love
song
Whiter than Dover, deep as Durham coal
So take my English love song
Proud as the millstone, endless as the roll
Of Norfolk cloud
Or Cornish sea
Sweet as the heather
