Goodbye England (Covered In Snow)

You were so smart then in your jacket and coat

My softest red scarf was warming your throat

Winter was on us at the end of my nose

But I never love England

More than when covered in snow

But a friend of mine says it's good to hear

That you believe in love even if set in fear

Well I'll hold you there brother and set you straight

I only believe true love is frail and willing to break

I will come back here, bring me back when I'm old

I want to lay here forever in the cold

I might be cold but I'm just skin and bones

And I never love England

More than when covered in snow

I wrote my name in your book

Only God knows why

And I bet you that he cracked a smile

And I'm clearing all the crap out of my room

Trying desperately to figure out

What it is that makes me blue

And I wrote an epic letter to you

And it's twenty two pages front and back

But it's too good to be used

And I tried to be a girl who likes to be used

I'm too good for that

There's a mind under this hat

And I called them all and told them I've got to move

I'm on my own, it's too hard

I'm on my own, it's too hard

Feel like running, feel like running, run it off

And we will keep you, we will keep you little one

Safe from harm, like an extra arm

You are part of us

And you were so smart then in your jacket and coat

My softest red scarf was warming your throat

Winter will leave us, left the end of my nose

But goodbye old England 'till next year snow
