Norwich

Send me to the city where the old winds blow
Where the seas rock heavy and the spires are low
Somewhere I heard there are jewels in this city or the sea
I’m filled with fear and history

---

Come with me to the city where I’ll make my home
For just a little while, I will come and I’ll go,
Between a city and my sin, trying to let the right ones in,
I’ll never quite know what it means.

---

See me to the city where I’m always alone
Where I’m cold from the heating and the long walk home
Where the castle’s closing early, where there’s much less hurly-burly,
Where I’m supposed to grow

---

Send me to the city, see me off on the train,
I’ll come back home to be happy again.
Send me to the city so that I may see the east
I’ll come back stronger, and smarter, and fatter, and old.
