Steve Tilston - Normandy Day lyrics

Watch the sand hoppers dance this Normandy day Beneath the shade of the watch tower lay And sinking into slumber watch the wine seduce my mind Who over time, the tumbler, tell me What's the name I blame? The wind She answers daily The sad song lies blind Dressed in love's hour upon my friend's mind Oh the lady that he loved most dearly lies with their false friend But not a single word like, “I'll be gone.” This is the end of an age and it's left in the sand, Where once to homage they fought hand in hand Against a foreign foe who thought his cause most justified I'm not the man to tell him that foe lied. He died. Yes he died just like that broken bottle And the crab we caught and then k**ed for no reason Oh but don't that summer sky look crazy? What good's the sky when you have no days to watch it by? I'm wondering what makes me stay. Maybe I should go away from these Normandy days Watch the sand hoppers dance this Normandy day Beneath the shade of the watch tower lay And sinking into slumber watch the wine seduce my mind Who over time, the tumbler, tell me What's the name I blame? The wind.
