Normandy Day Songtext
von Steve Tilston

Watch the sand hoppers dance
This Normandy day
Beneath the shade of the watchtower we lay
And sinking into slumber

Watch the wine seduce my mind
Who overturned the tumbler?
Tell me what′s her name
I blame the wind
She answers daily
The sad song lies blind

To rest in love's hour
Upon my friend′s mind
For the lady that he loved most dearly
Lies with a false friend
With not a single word like
'I'll be gone, this is the end′


Of an age and it′s left in the sand
Where once two armies
They fought hand in hand
Against a foreign foe
Who thought his cause most justified
I'm not the man to tell him
That for a lie he died
Yes, he died just like that
Broken bottle and the crap we called him
And killed for no reason of a daunt

That summer sky looked crazy
What good′s the sky
When you have no days to watch it by?

I'm wondering what makes me stay
Maybe I should go away
From these Normandy days

Watch the sand hoppers dance
This Normandy day
Beneath the shade of the watchtower we lay
And sinking into slumber
Watch the wine seduce my mind
Who overturned the tumbler?
Tell me what′s her name
I blame the wind
