[Lyric] Maida Hill (Graham Parker)

I stood on Maida hill
I thought about my life and work
And how there is some more to do
And how it will end

She could be with me now
She could be lying in my bed
Her hair in waves around her head
She could be with me now

I wore that coat of green
She wore that dress in aubergine
But that was just a fever dream
And I was all alone

We stood upon the beach
We shook our spears at foreigners
We drove them from our sceptered islе
And now we're all alone

I stood on Maida hill
I stood and watchеd the battle rage
But that was in another age
And now we're just alone
We want to be alone
