Steve Tilston - Normandy Day Lyrics
Watch the sand hoppers dance this Normandy dayBeneath the shade of the watch tower layAnd sinking into slumber watch the wine seduce my mindWho over time, the tumbler, tell meWhat’s the name I blame? The windShe answers dailyThe sad song lies blindDressed in love’s hour upon my friend’s mindOh the lady that he loved most dearly lies with their false friendBut not a single word like, “I’ll be gone.”This is the end of an age and it’s left in the sand,Where once to homage they fought hand in handAgainst a foreign foe who thought his cause most justifiedI'm not the man to tell him that foe lied. He died.Yes he died just like that broken bottleAnd the crab we caught and then killed for no reasonOh but don’t that summer sky look crazy?What good’s the sky when you have no days to watch it by?I’m wondering what makes me stay.Maybe I should go away from these Normandy daysWatch the sand hoppers dance this Normandy dayBeneath the shade of the watch tower layAnd sinking into slumber watch the wine seduce my mindWho over time, the tumbler, tell meWhat’s the name I blame? The wind.
