When we get to England
Will we know when we've arrived?
When we get to England
Will we know if she has died?
Does the girl with the dogs
Still live in the big house
On the corner?
Are the boys collecting frogs
Still marching away
To die in war?
Like it's all from a dream
Like it's all from some history book
Didn't look too hard
Did I miss something that I should have seen?
When we get to England
Will it still be there?
When we get to England
Will we know where we've arrived?
When we get to England
Will a kiss bring her alive?
Once a farmer in the field
Had to grow enough
To feed his family
Now they pay him for his yield
Just to burn it down
And throw away
Like it's all from a dream
Like it's all in a crystal ball
Did it fall so hard?
Rest in pieces on a village green
When we get to England
Will it still be there?
When we get to England
