lyrics

Movement IV - 1942

I was evacuated into the same house,
As the man that I would go on to marry,
We had a cake, made from cardboard,
But in side there was, a small real cake.

It was the first time I heard Vera Lynn,
I was collecting papers and magazines in a pram.

On thee horizon I saw the glow,
Of Manchester burn,
From the window I saw a beautiful night sky,
Coventry on fire.

We were evacuated from ballet,
I cried every night but the head mistress was kind.

We all ran to the pantry under the stairs,
There was no room but we thought it was fun.

My brother was born in a thunder storm,
My dad had me on his shoulders legs around round his neck.

We had to turn all the lights off at night,
My uncle he made me pray every day.

A friend of mine was blown across the road,
Cycling from school doodle bugs over head in the fog.

No sweetie shops,
Night after night bombs dropped
The vibrations stopped,
My mother’s chiming clock.

Dad was allowed to come home,
We slept under the table,
A man parachuted in to thee garden next door

We had a cake made from cardboard,
But inside there was a small real cake.
