So
Lyrics
Down the lanes of foggy chimneys,
Through the little seaside town,
Strides the east wind like a dragon,
Strewing leaves of ragged brown.
Winter's planting icicles
Along the barren shore,
And the Punch and Judy Man
Is gone for ever.
(Chorus)
Mr.Punch and Judy Man,
Bring me back the childhood land of Summer
In the meadows by the river
Where the elm and willow stand
Silver mist is creeping down
To lullaby the sleeping land
Through the bare and blackened branches
Swallows fly no more
And the Punch and Judy man is gone forever
Slot machines and penny arcades
Jingle jangle on the pier,
Gone the sound of laughing children,
Fading with the dying year.
Through the town he wanders
In the misty autumn haze,
And the Punch and Judy Man
Is gone for ever.
Punchinello, Punchinello,
Where have you and Judy gone?
Gone to join the swelling ranks
Of things that we look back upon.
Memory can conjure you
From dreams of summer days,
But the Punch and Judy Man
Is gone for ever
