English trees in my garden
We planted seeds in a faraway land
In between the palms and the succulent grove

They lose their leaves in the winter
Mark the seasons for him and for her
Once upon a time in the fallen snow
Up against the sky made a silhouette show

England cries and she plays for him
Two chords entwined like a requiem
Although it´s springtime, colour is new
In Regent´s Park, I will mourn for you

And I must be wise somehow
´Cause my heart´s been broken down

It´s so far to fall
And so hard to climb
Nothing´s sadder, I know
Than the passing of time

Won´t forget me
You won´t forget me


English trees in my garden
Summer´s missed you, my darling
And all your crimes are forgiven
Yeah, all your crimes are forgiven

And I must be wise somehow
