Another whiskey down, farewell The Rose & Crown
Oh, I miss the quiet village where I belong
A stroll down Jersey Lane, or just our garden in the rain
A year has passed and I still struggle on
Even though I'm far away in a state of disarray
The bells of St Leonard's will ring on
I remember as I drove with my thoughts in Langley Grove
I passed through unnoticed like a ghost
It overcomes me still when I head for Woodcock Hill
That I can no longer call this place my home
It's forever in my heart and although we are apart
The bells of St Leonard's will ring on
Saint Albans twenty, ten and four
You've got so much to answer for
I watched my village go through the frosty car back window
And the walls of the city turned to dust
