lyrics

The Windmill

In her hair she wore a crown of cornflowers,
And the windmill was her home
She had been kissed, but only by a thistle
And been loved by a stone
She dreamed of black water on silver shores
She’d walk with her lover, someone she’d adore
But after half a million tick-tocks more, coz
No one can make time stand still

At the inn his ale tasted dirty
And his knife and fork were cold
He wonders what’s the point of being happy
With a soul that’s tired and old
He dusted the rust from her wedding ring
No day in the church, no anthem to sing
He spent half a million hours aching, but
No one can make time stand still

When sunset came he strolled up to the windmill
And he saw her in the light
Instantly his heart forgot its torment
And as the day became the night
He stepped forward and reached out his arm
To see just a corn dolly rest in his palm
If life is the storm maybe love is the calm
No one can make time stand still
