When The Kissing Had To Stop

When The Kissing Had To Stop
 Once we sat beneath love's Bowers
 English meadows, English flowers
 Eyes locked tight and passion flowing
 Ne're a thought of where things going
 When the kissing had to stop

 Strangers came and filled the meadows
 Trodden down the English flowers
 Eyes fixed down and passion going
 As the Stream turned Tidal flowing
 When the kissing had to stop

 Love lay dead and Greed was growing
 Fattened fingers overthrowing
 Gone for good the fields and flowers
 England lay 'neath alien powers
 When the kissing had to stop

 No more kissing, no more loving
 Of our Nation, of our Woman
 Prison cells for those who spoke true
 England crushed and Freedoms few
 Then The Kissing Had To Stop
 Eddy Morrison (2015)
