Ebury Down Lyrics by Brinsley Schwarz

Despite it All

0

[Verse 1]
Warm summer morning with nothing to do
And over my shoulder hung a beautiful blue
Maybe I'll walk the four miles to Ebury Down
And maybe lay my lady if there's no one around
Li li li li, li li li li, li li
[Chorus 1]
And every time I hurt you, lady
I would gladly kiss it all right
And every time I hurt you, lady
I'm on the light... and dark side of the moon
[Verse 2]
Well I searched for an hour for a man that I'd seen
Pickin' wild berries in a copse by a stream
I looked for an hour, then I started to go
I thought, I guess, they got him as I heard the horns blow
Whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
[Chorus 2]
And every time I ask you, lady
You act just like you never heard a word
I lost count of the occasions lady
By the third... or fourth time of asking
[Verse 3]
Warm summer morning with nothing in hand
Guess I'll go back to Tonbridge to reform my band
And if I run into J.C., why, he'll tell me the same
"There ain't nothing down here, man, and we're all to blame"
Li li li li, li li li li, li li
[Chorus 3]
And every time I invite you, lady
You never tell me how long you will stay
Makes no difference what you choose, lady
For a day... or just twenty-four hours
[Verse 4]
Lead me down Ebury Down, leave me to die
I'll come back one day with the world in my eye
And if I had a fortune, I'd come to no harm
With my wife and five children down on my farm
Li li li, li li li, li li li, li li li li (repeat)
