Lyrics Maggie Reilly

Maggie Reilly

It's A Lovely Day

Tall ships sail the oceans, on the blue horizon

Running with the Trade Winds, to some far off distant shore

Mail trains whistle in the night, racing through the darkness

Sparks that set the track alight, as they rush towards the dawn

It's a lovely day, I'm dreaming in my garden

And the sun is shining, now the summer's here to stay

What a lovely day, and nothing's more surprising

Just how far I travel without ever going away

Camel trains cross desert sands, bringing silks and spices

They carry tales of far off lands, and cities paved with gold

Airships slowly climb their way, over snowcapped mountains

Following the wild geese as they trail across the sky

It's a lovely day, I'm dreaming in my garden

And the sun is shining, now the summer's here to stay

What a lovely day, and nothing's more surprising

Just how far I travel without ever going away
