All on a Saturday
Bright as a Bell
Early, and just for the ride
We took a trip
Cycling down to the sea
You and your lady, and I

Oh what a summer
Oh what a sun
Bright in the blue sky it clung

( Chorus:

One day at whitsun
The sea and the shore
The summer before the war

)

All summer places where
You could taste the country air
Racing our shadows we'd fly
Down through the narrow lanes
Chasing the slow trains
The last of an age going by

We had a good time
We had some fun
There was time then and we all were young

(Chorus)

Young hearts and young souls
Young minds to unfold
Knowing the untold somehow

(Chorus)

Young hearts and young souls
Young minds to unfold
Knowing the untold somehow

(Chorus)

We found a small cove
By the sand and the water
salt air brushing our skin
Your hand in her mind
Her hand in mine
Watching the sea rushing in

Oh what a moment
Oh what a day
We held it, and it never slipped away

(Chorus)

  • I Dont Know Where I Stand
    "Funny day, looking for laughter and finding it there
    Sunny day, braiding white flowers and leaves in my hair
    Picked up a pencil and wrote 'I love you' in my finest hand
    Wanted to send it but I don't know where I stand..."
  • Percys Song
    "Bad news, bad news, come to me where I sleep"
    Turn, turn, turn again
    "Say, one of your friends is in trouble deep"
    Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind..."
  • Time Will Show the Wiser
    "My mind keeps on telling me that this is no good
    And my heart is aching, that tells me I should
    But only time will show the wiser
    I've fallen in love with a girl that's not mine..."
  • If (Stomp)
    "If I were rich enough
    To make you need me as much as I need you
    If I could pitch enough
    You'd realise what a little country bread can do..."
  • Decameron
    "She doesn't see the day to day
    No colours where the children play
    She doesn't see the things she's sown
    White crosses painted on the door..."
  • Jack ODiamonds
    "Jack O'Diamonds, on the move
    Jack O'Diamonds, one-eyed knave
    On the move, hits the street
    Bumps his head, on the ground..."
  • Chelsea Morning
    "Woke up big this Chelsea morning and the first thing that I heard
    Was a song outside my window
    And the traffic wrote the words
    It came ringing up like Christmas bells..."
  • Sun Shade
    "Dying's not easy today
    Trying but can't get away
    Feel just the almost touch of her hand and the trees in her hair
    ?Lies float? the sun, she saw only me in the sky..."
