Imperial Lines Lyrics

Touring up the drive in May
Horses ride, queen behind
To the place where you were born
A sister lost, a brother gone
A livery of white and gold
Red petticoats ward off the cold
The servants gather on the lawn
With blackened heart, sleeves are torn

And those, danced for you
Dance anew

From the house of memories
We see the strangest things
From the house of majesty

Father was the worst of kinds
His character revealed in time
Silken scarf and herring bone
Love was lost, as well you know

Alibis were undermined
Over rivers, down the line
Ever on the carriage goes
Ever on the legend grows
And those, danced for you
Dance anew

We see the strangest things
From the house of memories
We see the strangest things
From the house of travesty

To Aylsham, you run and run
To Aylsham, the people come
To Aylsham
(they dance for you)
you run and run
To Aylsham
(they dance for you)
the people come
To Aylsham
(they dance for you)
you run and run
To Aylsham
(they dance for you)
the people come
To Aylsham
(they dance for you)
you run and run
To Aylsham
(they dance for you)
you run and
