The Day the Ravens Left the Tower Lyrics


I've swept the floors of all my kings
I've opened doors and let the tourists in
Days of wine and roses
Prime ministers, red robes
These days are goneI've stood on guard as my Queens were bornI've cut the grass on many English lawnsOf strawberries and ice cream
Of cricket and cold beerThese days
London Tower's burning. Parliament's ablaze
Buckingham Palace has gone
Somewhere in the distance my darling she's a crying
I should be by her sideThis is the day the ravens left the tower
This is the day the ravens fly awayFly away, fly away.
Fly away, fly away.
Fly awayI've stood on the Changing of the Guards
To the Bloody Tower watching the Crown Jewels
A penny for the guy sir?
Will you vote left or right?
These daysLondon Bridge is falling.
St. Pauls Cathedral bums

The tower blocks are gone
Somewhere in the distance my darlings she's a crying
I should be by her side.This is the day the ravens left the towerThis is the day the ravens fly awayFly away, fly away (fly away)
Fly away, fly away (fly away)
Fly away, fly away (fly away)
Fly away, fly awayAnd if I live to see the dawning of the day
I hope I'm in your arms as we get swept awayOh darling I will be home soon
Darling I will be home soon(Ring a ring a roses, a pocket full of posies
Atishoo, Atishoo, we all fall down)

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

The band began in 1978 in the North-Wales town of Rhyl, under the name of 'Seventeen'. Its 4 members were Mike Peters, Dave Sharp, Eddie Macdonald and Nigel Twist.
