The Ghosts of England

by Tony Wakeford

subscriber exclusive

lyrics

By river bank, or through sighing corn
Marsh and moor, in mist or dawn
The weeping willow and summer lawn
At home, the ghosts of England

You may see us out the corner of your eye
In a photograph as the pages fly by
We sleep a while in chalk sand and clay
We flit between the night and day

The empty chapel that holds a host
A spectre walks the suffolk coast
We are quiet We do not boast
Say the ghosts of England

You may see us out the corner of your eye
In a photograph as the pages fly by
We sleep a while in chalk sand and clay
We flit between the night and day

In Saxon or Latin tongue
For us the bells will be rung
In saintly grave or scaffold hung
We the ghosts of england

You may see us out the corner of your eye
In a photograph as the pages fly by
We sleep a while in chalk sand and clay
We flit between the night and day

By river bank, or through sighing corn
Marsh and moor, in mist or dawn
The weeping willow and summer lawn
At home, the ghosts of England
