The Eagle and child

She’s a thorn in my Merseyside
Our beloved Eagle and Child
As a jewel in England’s crown
Will never be the Eagle and Child
She’s my Liverpool when I’m not there
In place of a throne I’ll pull up a chair
She’s my home away from home
She’s my anchor, my birthstone
The Eagle and Child
Dear da why did we leave
Our beloved Eagle and Child
Dear ma was I so naïve
How I miss our Eagle and Child
Then I was taken to another country, dear da When I was only a small child, dear ma And there’s a memory at least to some degree
Unreconciled
The Eagle and Child
She’s a thorn in my Merseyside
Our beloved Eagle and Child
As a jewel in England’s crown
Will never be the Eagle and Child
She’s my Liverpool when I’m not there
In place of a throne I’ll pull up a chair
She’s my home away from home
She’s my anchor, my birthstone
The Eagle and Child
