Sophie Morgan - Old England Lyrics

I was born in the morning
In a city of snow
Lifted my head up, soon tall enough
To see from the window

Spring started spreading
Over the land
Sprawling and humming, asking to come in
Daffodils in hand

Old England, I breathe you in and out again
Old England
Old England, I breathe you in and out again
Old England

Craving a heatwave
Then burnt by the ground
Dove in the ocean, peace for a moment
But the heat seeped down

Blistered my skin
Came back to the cold
He says, where have you been?
Haven't you seen the city's turned gold?

Old England, I breathe you in and out again
Old England
Old England, I breathe you in and out again
Old England

When they bury my body
When they lower me down
Love, don't you worry
Don't say you're sorry now

For the sun will be shining
And the sky will shed a tear
In your green, golden fields, flowers I'll yield
Year upon year

I was born in the morning
In a city of snow
Lifted my head up, soon tall enough
To see from the window

Spring started spreading
Over the land
Sprawling and humming, asking to come in
Daffodils in hand

Old England, I breathe you in and out again
Old England
Old England, I breathe you in and out again
Old England

Craving a heatwave
Then burnt by the ground
Dove in the ocean, peace for a moment
But the heat seeped down

Blistered my skin
Came back to the cold
He says, where have you been?
Haven't you seen the city's turned gold?

Old England, I breathe you in and out again
Old England
Old England, I breathe you in and out again
Old England

When they bury my body
When they lower me down
Love, don't you worry
Don't say you're sorry now

For the sun will be shining
And the sky will shed a tear
In your green, golden fields, flowers I'll yield
Year upon year
