jack hardy - london town lyrics

[verse 1]
little bird that sings
spread your downy wings
fly away, fly away
o’er the rolling downs
far from london town
fly across the sea
and there you will find
a girl who is blind
to the roar and the smells of this street
and she does not know
i have nothing to show
for the labor of my hands and my feet

[chorus]
old love is sharp and young love is blind
and all love is colored by time
but the love in my heart is as clear and as fine
as the day i left love behind

[verse 2]
climb the tallest hill
in the morning chill
haul away, haul away
tall ships foreign bound
all their sails turned down
haul across the sea
some bound for catalina
some bound for china
some bound to the will of the wind
but thе sound of my feet
pound this dark and dreary street
says that some ships are nеver coming in
[chorus]
old love is sharp and young love is blind
and all love is colored by time
but the love in my heart is as clear and as fine
as the day i left love behind

[verse 3]
on the first of may
all the ladies g+y
say it’s a lie, it’s a lie
dressed in gorgeous lace
pressed in corset stays
say come and lie with me
and the drink and the seedy
strength of my weakness
is dark and abhorrent to me
and she does not know
of the depths that i go
with this fire that is raging in me

[chorus]
old love is sharp and young love is blind
and all love is colored by time
but the love in my heart is as clear and as fine
as the day i left love behind
