Vera Lynn

I sold a faceless hope on the open road With an evil smile in its eyes The rain came in from the west so hard I could hardly see the signs I took a leaf straight from my fathers book Tried to find the place to be Old jack frost put his hands in mine And he said these words to me He said alright The next left turn saw the old hotel I took the last door on the left I paused and asked the spirit there Did she think my truth was best She said there ain't no stripes on the stars at night There ain't no flies on me There ain't no black in the union jack But the colour is for all to see Alright, alright, alright alright Let the blue birds fly and the time go by Through the empty bars with their hands held high When the bombs fall down on London town We can sing with Vera, sing with Vera Lynn
