king & country [single version]
Folding hills and a silver lane,  A weeping maid, an evening in the rain,  Roses ramble and the trees hang low,  We sit and drink to all good friends we  know.   `Tis I my love who'll leave in June,  For twenty five days no more.  Now mark that spot from whence I came  It's for king and country I`ll come back  again.   The first season passed without news.  Two weeks gone and still no autumn  tune.  The leaves they weep for the loss of their  spring,  The dimming days they serve no better  king.   `Tis I my love who fought for you.  For twenty five weeks no more.  Now mark that spot from whence I came  It's for king and country I`ll come back  again.   The wind blew in a few small drops of  rain.  She followed them `til her tears ran down  again.  I`ll do as much as any young man may.  Please don`t sit and mourn I`ll come  back rich and brave.   `Tis I my love who fell for you,  After twenty five months no more.  Now mark that spot from whence I came  It's for king and country I`ll come back  again.  I'll come back to you on the longest day.  I'll come back to you when I'm rich and  brave.  I'll come back to you.   Out of the doorway her hands upon her  head,  The weeping maid, her love was lost or  dead.  Her longest day had only just begun.  She cursed the man who favoured for  the gun.   `Tis I my love who fell for you.  For twenty five years or more  Now mark that spot from whence we  came  It's for king and country I`ll come back  again.  I'll come back to you on the longest day.  I'll come back to you when I'm rich and  brave.  I'll come back to you on the longest day.  I'll come back to you  Lyrics > Seth Lakeman Lyrics > Seth Lakeman King & Country Lyrics
