It's all so different now
From just a few weeks ago
When April was about to smile on England
And I had to go

So here I am again
Far from where the blackbird sings
And lanes I love to walk along
Lost in my thoughts
And what of you my love
Though you're so far

Last night I had the strangest dream
In which I found myself alone
And stumbling through an endless night
I surely was afraid

Then out the blackness came a light
And then a voice that spoke to me
I am the pilgrim sent to you
It's time for your journey

Christia

She is well versed in this affair
And so encounters it with care
She knows him well - too well
And all he's thinking of
But she will keep it to herself.

The only man she's ever known
Is breaking up her heart and home
And such is love
That she would die for him

She's causing a commotion it's a curious thing
Everyone thought she was a delicate thing
And now they're making her learn the hard way
Say, what's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?

They're dragging her through courtrooms with tears on her face
She cries out f

Susan wants to be a secretary
She has all the necessary requirements
But since her mom left home, her dad's gone to pieces
And she has to stay and look after
Her brothers and sisters and all the housework.

Oh what a waste of education
Oh what a waste of education
Oh

Old fashioned she might be
Dated like last year's pop-song
Ageing like this year's calendar
It's a wonder she can still raise a smile.

But in spite of her pension
Governments and Ascension Day
She can.

Her local vicar serves her "pie in the sky"
While her M. P

This little girl said she really loved me
It won't last so I was told
People said that I would soon see
How all that glitters is not gold.

Well I don't care what I've been told
It doesn't matter what people have said
I must confess my heart is sold
This little girl'

I can wonder at
Wonder why
It's always been the same
I've heard lies and
Children cryin'
Still I hear your name

And I always think about you night and day
And I wonder where you are
And I think about you night and day
I still love you

I don't wonder at

Another radio station
Another dream that's about to come true
We may not reach all the nation
But we' got the means to capture you
We' got something for everyone
M.O.R. to rock and roll
And for all you classical jazz freaks
We got more rock and roll.

I don't think that I've ever had a warmer experience than
The time you came round for tea and stayed much later than
You anticipated; oh, but you were shy
So we drank a little and talked a lot, an' then we drank some more
And you laughed a little an' drank a lot and said you'd li

Winter, you may laugh at me
Threaten with your heart of ice
Tellin' me my love has gone
I don't need your cold advice
I don't need to know
I don't need to know

April, why did you go
When you should 'a' known
You were my spring?
April, why did you go
When

On the table by the window stood the vase with nothing in it
And over by the door was where you cried and felt embarrassed
Then you said something about there being no flowers in it
And I was all confused and you were looking quite your saddest
So come on girl and let me know jus

I met her walkin' down a busy street
It might has well have been a deserted beach
That initial, superficial attraction
Has grown much deeper
And I need her.

And if I married her tomorrow
She'd make my life a paradise
But I know she won't be here as long as that

Every moment that I spent with you
I looked forward to
And if it should happen again
I'll know what to do.

But now my memories lean on Avenue Dreams
In which I get closer to you.

Whatever is in my way
Take all these cul-de-sac blues away.

If it should be my

I remember when
You said the world must be flat
Because you'd fallen off the edge
There you were just floatin'
Holdin' on to my hand
So safe and self-assured
An' it's not easy
Watchin' you walk out on me
An' simple dreams from way back when
The view was so muc

Birmingham, don't mean the one over in Alabam
There is no-one who's been through more than you
And still come through with love to spare
You really care, you lovely lady you.

Birmingham, with your air so cosmopolitan
Well I don't mean that disrespectfully
For you have a

Love has gone as surely as it came
Leavin' me mistaken
Leavin' you no shame
But that's not all
A child will be forsaken
Thinkin' she was safe
And who will be to blame?

We gotta put away the heartache
You gotta quell your desire
We gotta sacrifice, we must no

I know some people, some fine people
Who make me feel the way I do
And if you've met 'em
Maybe you've met them
Well I'm sure you'll feel the same way too.

I guess they need me
But not as much as I need them
For what I'm not quite sure
And who will mend their bro

Carrie won't you write? don't let me worry
You know that it's right, and still I worry
We don't have the time to quarrel like we do
Life is so unkind, don't let's help it too.

Carrie won't you come or meet me half way?
You don't have to run or play it my way.
I concede

Won't you give me one more chance, baby won't you try?
Won't you give me one more chance, baby won't you try?

If you were here with me then I could explain
It doesn't have to be like this I'm to blame.

Won't you give me one more chance, baby won't you try?
Won't you give
