lyrics

Watercress Line

C G Dm
I wish I was here in '55
Dm Am
When trains chuffed by every hour
C G
And we were free, glad to be alive
Dm Am
And you could smoke in the restaurant car

Bb C Dm
Yes I remember Ropley
Dm Am Dm Am
Scrap-saved engines loved by buffs
Bb
A sunny afternoon in late July
F Am D
Old men and children, the huff and puff

Early Autumn winds shake the chestnut trees
But it's the only sound once the line is clear
The cafe sells hot food and strong English tea
I can sit wishing I never have to leave here

40's posters promote the boat train
to Calais, places so far away
But it's in the Itchen valley I'll remain
F Am F Am D
Sitting here dreaming on a perfect summer's day
