Washington Down

What's that you say

He's on his own, always alone

An English man, you understand

Has he got a heart of stone

Calm and yet, you can detect sometimes a frown

Not a sound, young Washington Down

Why be bold in an age of regret

If you're sure that your values are set

At this fast rate you've no need to run

Take it easy young Washington

Wait for love, for you know love can wait

Look for danger before it's too late

You know from the past just how fast time can come

Take it easy young Washington

If I seem so suddenly cruel

Know that jealousy burns as a rule

Try to struggle you know you know you can't fight

Walk on silently into the night
