One More Time - Ray Davies

I was walking on the coast road

When the harbour came in view

It was there I saw the hilltop

That I used to walk with you

We’d sing of the old country

Now it’s such a lonesome climb

Our world faded once when you were mine

Why is true love so difficult to find

Wish you were here to see it with me

One more time

Lalala…

Wish you were here to sing it with me

One more time

Those economic vultures

Stole our dreams and told us tales

Then they towed away our culture

To their depot in south Wales

Corporations get the tax breaks

While the city gets the crime

The profit’s going somewhere

But it isn’t yours or mine

Still we blindly trust in the divine

Let’s sing for the old country

Come on, one more time

Lalala…

Let’s sing it loud with feeling

Come on, one more time

You know I must be leaving

And I know you’ve got to stay

But you know that I’ll be grieving

When you’re so far away

And if this should be the last time

I should ever see your face

Let’s part with no hard feeling

And a positive embrace

And I will speak well of you

When they ask when you were mine

Till then the jet stream up above

Shows us the warning signs

Till we meet again bravely walk the line

Let’s sing it loud with feeling

Come on, one more time

Lalala…

Let’s sing for the old country

Come on, one more, one more time
