Robin's Reign (p) 1970

Down Came the Sun |

Autumn and Friday the winds blew
July , September , I knew you
And now I sit on the sand hill
I sing our song to the sea
August , October
Mid-April , November , May
Beckoning hands made you fly
I cry , it's curtains today
In August , October the grass grew
The sky was blue and I want you
Now as I look out my window
I see the world carry on
August , October
Mid-April , November , May
Beckoning hands made you fly
I cry , it's curtains today
August , October
Mid-April , November , May
Beckoning hands made you fly
I cry , it's curtains today
I cry , it's curtains today
I cry , it's curtains today
No more room to roam
I have lost my hope
Stars have all gone in
Which way have I been
I'm too rich to learn
And far to cold to burn
Gone gone are the days , I cried
When I could so easily have tried
Work , work ,when instead I laughed
And nothing now I have
Hoping much too long
My eyes are not so strong
I just can not see
What is right and wrong
Gone gone are the days , I cried
When I could so easily have tried
Work , work, when instead I laughed
And nothing now I have
Ahh.... (fade)
Ah........
I just don't know what you can achieve
When you say you need me and then leave
Ev'ry thing you tell me is a lie
You and I just don't see eye to eye
Soon you'll run , there is no fun remaining
The life I once enjoyed you've surely taken
I'm convinced for years, I've been your clown
The heart I gave , well you have just forsaken
You are the worst girl in this town
You are the worst girl in this town
Ah......
There are lots like you , that it's not true
I'd be a fool to stay and join the queue
You've stayed with other men behind my back
I know that if I stay , I'll surely crack
The life I once enjoyed you've surely taken
I'm convinced for years , I've been your clown
The heart I gave , well you have just forsaken
You are the worst girl in this town
You are the worst girl in this town
Ah.......
You are the worst girl in this town
Ah.......
It's not the way you say to me , I'll wave goodbye
It's not the search to try to say the tears you'll cry
Because I am crying too for the thought of leaving you
You have to give me a smile as leave you treasure
Do it in style and believe in yourself
'Cause while I'm away I will stay firm beside you
And then I will go with the thought that you tried not to break
You mean heaven to me and when I return to thee
we'll see our own love
You may not know but I do miss you earnestly
Of all the moments in our time, there's none like this
And ev'ry day when our lips met , there's none so bliss
For when I say sweet c'est la vie ,
I laugh and leave with tears on me
You better give me a smile as I leave you Heather,
Treasure yourself and find time for no else
For while I'm away I will stay firm beside you
And then I will leave with the thought that you tried not to cry
Ah.....
Down Came the Sun
Lala.......
I got a letter in this town
They're going to pull this old house down
I got a letter in this town
They're going to pull this sad house down
Mother and Jack, they went to see the Emperor
Mother and Jack ,they went to see the Emperor
They got no answer
They got no answer
Said he would think-ah , over his drink-ah
About this question on this house of yours
Don't take our house , away from us
Don't take our house , away from us
He made Jack's poor hair turn grey
He made Jack's poor hair turn grey
I got a letter in this town
They're going to pull this old house down
I got a letter in this town
They're going to see this sad house down
Mother and Jack ,they went to see the Emperor
Mother and Jack ,they went to see the Emperor
They got no answer
They got no answer
Said he would think-ah , over his drink-ah
About this question on this house of yours
Don't take our house away from us
Don't take our house away from us
Don't take our house away from us
Lala.....
I cried for you, I cried for you
I cried for two, I lied for you
Saved by the bell on your own carousel
Now who can tell, if you'll love that man as well
Now I'll walk down our great lane
I died for you, I died for two
I'll live for you, I'll give to you
Saved by the bell on your own carousel
Now who can tell, if you'll love that man as well
Now I'll walk down our great lane
Now I'll walk down our great lane
Now I'll walk down our great lane
Hello , I'm down
Take me for this weekend
I'm your to borror , tomorrow good friend
And while I'm away
All my love I'll send
And thank you every Thursday for this weekend
Hello sunrise , I must see your eyes
Still I will shout
But they're bound to find me out
Hello , I'm down
Take me for this weekend
I'm yours to borrow , tomorrow good friend
And I'm your to borrow , tomorrow good friend
Now it is dawn and a new day is born
But with a trail of despair
The new day was shining but many had gone
Farmer Ferdinand Hudson had lost much more than he'd won
He sat by a table and cried in his rum
(break)
The cobwebs hung heavy and dreary beside
All that looked at him could barely decide
He passed for one day so to sleep in that night
And early that morning he died
