Lyrics

See her face shine in the moonlight--
Soft as silk and white as cream
Silently I watch her slumber--gently kiss her cheek
Then I lay my weary head beside hers--close my eyes and dream
In the morning she'll awake--
Cast off the night and shine like summer
As she dances all about me she sparkles like a stream
Her hair is full of meadowsweet--she's wrapped in leafy green
On bended knee before you with tears in my eyes
I pledge that till my dying day my sword is on your side--
Forever on your side
And I love you more than life--
I swear that you mean everything to me
Everything I'd sacrifice--
If my lady you would favour me
Far brighter than the stars your smile
You hold the richest sunset in those eyes--
You are england
Fear not lady I'll defend you--
In your cause lay down my life
When 'concrete dragons' threaten they shall see my mettle gleam
And die if they should try to steal your cloak of leafy green
Of all the things worth dying for--
None sweeter have I seen
Than the rose that is my england--
In her cloak of leafy green
