Select language to translate this lyric
I sold a faceless hope on the open road
With an evil smile in its eyes
The rain came in from the west so hard
I could hardly see the signs
I took a leaf straight from my fathers book
Tried to find the place to be
Old jack frost put his hands in mine
And he said these words to me
He's alright
The next left turn saw the old hotel
I took the last door on the left
I paused and asked the spirit there
Did she think my truth was best
She said there ain't no stripes on the stars at night
There ain't no flies on me
There ain't no black in the union jack
But the colour is for all to see
Alright, alright, alright alright
Let the blue birds fly and the time go by
Through the empty bars with their hands held high
When the bombs fall down on London town
We can sing with Vera, sing with Vera Lynn
