Lord Salisbury by Al Stewart

From "Sparks of Ancient Light"
D
Lord Salisbury said to me

G                             A

"Though we spend our lives in isolation
D
Girdled 'round by the Emerald Sea

G       A        D

No fear shall we know".
G
Look away, look away, look away

       D

To the lamp-lit square

At the ebb of May
G
Look away, look away, look away
D        A  D
For our survival
D
Lord Salisbury takes his time

G                      A

The government sits in contemplation
D
All is ordered and in its prime

G       A        D

No fear shall we know
G
Look away, look away, look away

       D

To the fog-bound ship in the icy bay
G
Look away, look away, look away
D        A  D
For our survival

Bm                    F#

On the mantelpiece is a silver clock

Bm                          G

And it counts the hours and they won't turn back

Bm                    F#

The evening set and the room forgets
G E             A
The day that went before

Bm          F#

And through my window

G    E           A

Iron wheels on a cobbled mews
Bm       F#   E       A
You will know changes soon
