Clifford T Ward..A Day To Myself..

Once again my attempt to heighten awareness of the talents of a great singer/songwriter...CTW. Also to bring enjoyment and some measure of pleasure to long standing fans and admirers of CTW's work and enduring legacy.
This is a particularly poignant and melancholic song composed I feel with great sincerity and feeling...I hope my personal efforts in some way come close to doing it justice. This is also esp dedicated to my friend Cass once more who brought this song back into my consciousness..deeply endebted.

Never forget the past and live within the present with an eye to the future!
Pax to all my friends...enjoy.

A DAY TO MYSELF
***************

It's all so different now
From just a few weeks ago
When April was about to smile on England
And I had to go

So here I am again
Far from where the blackbird sings
And lanes I love to walk along
Lost i my thoughts
And what of you my love
Though you're so far away
Yet so close to me in all I do and see

And so on my day off
I could have chosen monuments
Historic chateau,palaces
Or finding ways of improving my French
Instead I wandered out alone
Here where woods and fields abound
And in a quiet corner found the resting place
Of English soldiers killed in war

And what of them my love
Who died so far from home
No last farewell kiss
All that remains is this

It makes me feel so ashamed to feel alone
Whatever would they think of me
For I shall see my love again

It's all so different now
From those few years ago
When April smiled so sweetly still
And they had to go
