Today Began A Thousand Years Ago - Beau[00:00:00]
I remember when the long ships[00:00:06]
Sailed across the eastern sound[00:00:09]
Toward the western skyline[00:00:15]
Where the greenest hills are found [00:00:17]
And I remember when they stormed[00:00:22]
The cliffs along our jagged coasts[00:00:25]
And the sentries in the villages[00:00:29]
Who huddled at their posts[00:00:32]
And didn't seem to[00:00:36]
Know which way to go[00:00:37]
Because today began[00:00:42]
A thousand years ago [00:00:44]
Today began a thousand years ago [00:00:49]
And I remember when King Richard[00:00:59]
Rode out on the great crusade [00:01:02]
I saw his armour shining[00:01:08]
And I watched his glory fade [00:01:11]
And I saluted good King John [00:01:16]
Whose greatest ever deed[00:01:19]
Was signing Magna Carta[00:01:22]
For us all at Runnymede [00:01:25]
A light of freedom shining from below [00:01:29]
Today began a thousand years ago [00:01:36]
Today began a thousand years ago [00:01:42]
I remember how the lights went down[00:01:52]
When someone lit the fuse;[00:01:55]
The salad days; the slow malaise[00:02:01]
Of the 20th Century blues [00:02:04]
The nightingales still sang[00:02:09]
And there was music in the air [00:02:11]
The clouds were gathering once again[00:02:16]
High over Berkeley Square [00:02:19]
And once again our[00:02:22]
Young men had to go[00:02:24]
Today began a thousand years ago [00:02:29]
Today began a thousand years ago [00:02:36]
Now the stones will tell their stories[00:02:46]
When the moss is peeled away [00:02:49]
The sun will shine as brightly[00:02:54]
When tomorrow is today [00:02:57]
And history will delight them[00:03:03]
With its mix of truth and lies[00:03:05]
The world will never let[00:03:09]
The future in on its disguise[00:03:11]
But the flowers on the heath[00:03:15]
Will always grow[00:03:18]
Because today began[00:03:22]
A thousand years ago [00:03:24]
Because today began a thousand years ago[00:03:29]
