Richard Thompson


She doesn't see the day today 
No colours where the children play 
She doesn't see the things she saw 
White crosses painted on the door 

See me fly, see me cry, see me walk away 
Every time the sun shines, to me it's a rainy day 

He didn't see the summer go 
Though he knew what the shadows know 
He didn't see his arms grow old 
He didn't feel his blood run cold 

See me fly, see me cry, see me walk away 
Every time the sun shines, to me it's a rainy day 

They listened to his voice grow pale 
No stamps were on the morning mail 
They all listened to the white truck ring 
Words just didn't mean a thing 

See me fly, see me cry, see me walk away 
Every time the sun shines, to me it's a rainy day
