Eleanor

Majesty in exile, comfort, wine and empty rooms
One last song for Eleanor and Rachel to the moon
Children made from other people's wives and never seen
Dust sits on the records, you forget who you have been

And all England brought was rain
And the flowers grow
And you said goodbye again

Sometimes it would work, the children's toys, the magic show
Sometimes when the whole world raised the whimsy, made it glow
Golden, easy, laid back, low-down, clever, make believe
Whisper in receptive ears, the charming words deceived

And you've seen all England's rain
And it's time to go
And you'll never come again

I saw you at the barricades, remember Reading Gaol
I saw you through the window, watching Simon Langton fail
I saw you on the first of June, a minstrel in the sun
I saw you at the end of time, you shine and then you burn

And all England brought was rain
And it's time to go
