The Day the Ravens Left the Tower

I've swept the floors of all my kings
 I've opened doors and let the tourists in
 Days of wine and roses
 Prime ministers, red robes
 These days are gone
 I've stood on guard as my Queens were born
 I've cut the grass on many English lawns
 Of strawberries and ice cream
 Of cricket and cold beer
 These days
 London Tower's burning. Parliament's ablaze
 Buckingham Palace has gone
 Somewhere in the distance my darling she's a crying
 I should be by her side
 This is the day the ravens left the tower
 This is the day the ravens fly away
 Fly away, fly away.
 Fly away, fly away.
 Fly away
 I've stood on the Changing of the Guards
 To the Bloody Tower watching the Crown Jewels
 A penny for the guy sir?
 Will you vote left or right?
 These days
 London Bridge is falling.
 St. Pauls Cathedral bums
 The tower blocks are gone
 Somewhere in the distance my darlings she's a crying
 I should be by her side.
 This is the day the ravens left the tower
 This is the day the ravens fly away
 Fly away, fly away (fly away)
 Fly away, fly away (fly away)
 Fly away, fly away (fly away)
 Fly away, fly away
 And if I live to see the dawning of the day
 I hope I'm in your arms as we get swept away
 Oh darling I will be home soon
 Darling I will be home soon
 (Ring a ring a roses, a pocket full of posies
 Atishoo, Atishoo, we all fall down)
