the englishman - mick stevens lyrics

i had been a wanderer
before i ever came to rest upon this alien shore
by time and chance and every circumstance beguiled
seeking the best deal of a losing hand once more
behold me now, self*exiled
to a land i’d only read about a month ago
look for me now in shades of blue
recalling all the faces that i knew
cast down the shore, the listless gaze of the englishman

freedom does as freedom must
and savеs the largest share of pain for thosе we trust
we have no choice, a spirit voice within bewitches
and seduces those it dooms to tread the path of dust
forgive me now, you’ve never seen
the true return of feeling that there should have been
look for me now in shades of green
remembering the land that was my home
into the night, to one more town walks the englishman

tell me then, what have i done?
should heaven itself become a cage
where would there be to run except to h*ll?
so wish me well, don’t stick my photo in your book
forget me and forgive me all the love i took
look for me now in shades of red
the passions of my youth do battle somewhere in my head
they’ll always be more real to me
than anything i touch in this, my new country
another drink, another jar for the englishman
