lyrics

The ones that got away

Over the fields we ploughed and scattered
The flocks are back in their folds
Deep in the heart of merry old England I took the best I hold
I can’t help but look back now, now it’s the end of the day
Seems my mind still turns back to the ones - the ones that got away

When you’re young and lean and hopeful
The green buds swell on the thorn
Times like these make me grateful for the day that I was born
I watch white clouds of blossom float over fields of May
Like snow scattered in the breeze like the ones, the ones that got away

So it’s up the ghylls and down the dales, over the hills and far away
Roll me down gently along the lanes, like the ones that got away

Moving to the ridge with the sun on the rocks
I climb that steep mountain ledge
My sense reel with the skirl of the water crashing over the edge
I wanted so much to hold it, for that moment to stay
But you gotta get down to the other side like the ones, the ones that got away

So it’s up the ghylls and down the dales, over the hills and far away
Roll me down gently along the lanes, like the ones that got away
