Memory

Long time ago now when we were very young
You went a-bombing and I went to bed.
Woke to find you home again and thanked the gods for weather change.
Woke to hear you calling when I'd dreamed you were dead.

Long time ago now when we were very young
You went a-bombing and I went to bed.
Woke to find a telegram, then flowers and a church bell.
Woke to hear you calling though they said you were dead.

Long time ago when we were very young
We when a-walking in a world brand new,
Swinging over chalk turf, joyful under lark song
Dreamed a dream of... I forget... but I remember you.
