City Walls Lyrics

Well it's hard to be alone! She said to me
And it's harder still for me to see you up and walking
Down along this old and dusty road
Down along this old grey road

So I turn to her and say this cannot be
How can you stand so close and hear me talking?
Of all the little lies you said to me
Of all the little cruelties which led me walking

Homeward underneath the yew tree where my sweetheart lies
It's there where you'll find me in the dawning of the day
When the sun falls from the sky
My sweetheart and I

So I keep my head down and carry on
All I can see is the rain falling
Down onto the road I walked along
Down onto the road I walked along

And out of the mist I see her form
I have never seen her look so silent
On the road it's hard to be alone
On the road it's hard to keep yourself from walking

Homeward underneath the yew tree where my sweetheart lies
It's there where you'll find me in the dawning of the day
When the sun falls from the sky
My sweetheart and I
My sweetheart and I
My sweetheart and I...
