时长： 04:44

Prince louis battenberg is burning the admiralty lights down low [00:00:13]

Silently sifting through papers sealed with a crown [00:00:20]

Admiral lord fisher is writing to churchill calling for more dreadnoughts [00:00:29]

The houses in hackney are all falling down [00:00:36]

[00:00:41]

And my grandmother sits on the beach in the days before the war [00:00:48]

Young girl writing her diary while time seems to pause [00:00:55]

Watching the waves as they come one by one to die on the shore [00:01:03]

Kissing the feet of england [00:01:12]

Oh the lights of saint petersburg come on as usual [00:01:37]

Although the air seems charged with a strangeness of late [00:01:41]

Yet there's nothing to touch [00:01:46]

And the tsar in his great winter palace [00:01:52]

Has called for the foreign news [00:01:55]

An archduke was shot down in bosnia but nothing much [00:01:58]

And my grandmother sits before the mirror [00:02:11]

In the days before the war [00:02:15]

Smiling a secret smile as she goes to the door [00:02:18]

And the young man rides off in his carriage homeward once more [00:02:26]

And the sun sets gently on england [00:02:34]

Ah the day we decided to drive down to worthing [00:02:59]

It rained and rained [00:03:03]

Giving us only a minute to stand by the sea [00:03:06]

And crunching my way through the shingles [00:03:14]

It seemed there was nothing changed [00:03:17]

Though the jetty was maybe more scarred that I'd known it to be [00:03:20]

And mandi and I stood and stared at the overcast sky [00:03:33]

Where ten years ago we had stood my grandfather and I [00:03:40]

And the waves still rushed in as they had the year that he died [00:03:50]

And it seemed that my lifetime was shrunken and lost in the tide [00:03:58]

As it rose and fell on the side of england [00:04:04]

Prince louis battenberg is burning the admiralty lights [00:04:35]
