MERRY ENGLAND LIVES JUST SOUTH OF NOTTINGHILL,

IN DAILY DREAMS OF SHAKESPEARE LIKE SOME PISCES WILL.

THOUGH SHE S NEVER BEEN BEYOND THE LADBROKE GATE,
| |
THE WORLD HAS SPUN AROUND THERE MANY TIMES OF LATE.

CAN CAROLINE REMEMBER, HE THAT DID BEFRIEND HER,

AND SCARCELY TOUCHED THE BEAUTY, OF A SADNESS ON HER SOUL.
| |
SO SUBTLE WERE HER CHANGES, NO ONE EVEN NOTICED,

THAT MANY YEARS OF CRYING AND SHE BARELY LET IT SHOW.

THAT S THE PRICE YOU HAVE TO PAY TO GROW SO OLD.

ENGLAND S TURNING GREEN FROM ALL THOSE YEARS OF RAIN,

POETRY IN MOTION WHILE SHE STANDS THERE STILL,

SOME MAIDEN IN A CASTLE UP ON NOTTING-HILL.
Interlude: | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | | | |
I DREAM OF ENGLAND AND HER AUBURN HAIR, AND I MISS CARO - LINE.
