Clifford T. Ward - A Day to Myself lyrics

It's all so different now From just a few weeks ago When April was about to smile on England And I had to go. So here I am again Far from where the blackbird sings And lanes I love to walk along Lost in my thoughts And what of you my love Though you're so far away Yet so close to me in all I do and see. And so on my day off I could have chosen monuments Historic chateau, palaces Or finding ways of improving my French Instead I wandered out alone Here where woods and fields abound And in a quiet corner found the resting place Of English soldiers k**ed in war. And what of them my love Who died so far from home No last farewell kiss All that remains is this. It makes me so ashamed to feel alone Whatever would they think of me For I shall see my love again. INSTRUMENTAL It's all so different now From those few years ago When April smiled so sweetly still And they had to go.
