On St. Swithun's Day it was a clear day And then it rained for forty days and forty nights I went my way, you went your way But we'll meet together in the night As real as two dreamers in the night As your bridges burn And as the seasons turn As your bridges burn St Swithun's lantern still shines bright It was a clear day on St. Swithun's Day Then it rained for forty days and forty nights But when a brother wronged is just another song You'll find you've gotta do the thing that's right Yes you're finally gonna do the thing that's right As your bridges burn And the seasons turn As your bridges burn St Swithun's still shinin' bright
