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
