17 November 2001 (In memory of Kirsty)
ST SWITHINS DAY by Kirsty MacColl (written by Billy Bragg)
Thinking back now
I suppose you were just stating your views
What was it all for
For the weather or the battle of Agincourt
And the times that we all hoped would last
Like a train they have gone by so fast
And though we stood together at the edge of the platform
We were not moved by them
With my own hands
As I make love to your memory
It s not the same
I miss the thunder I miss the rain
And the fact that you don t understand
Casts a shadow over this land
But the sun still shines from behind it
Thanks all the same
But I just can t bring myself to answer your letters
It s not your fault
But your honesty touches me like a fire
The polaroids that keep us together
Will surely fade away
Like the love that we spoke of forever
On St. Swithins Day
