Teynham (/ˈtɛnəm/ TEN-əm) is a large village and civil parish in the borough of Swale in Kent, England. The parish lies between the towns of Sittingbourne and Faversham, immediately north of the A2 road, and includes the hamlet of Conyer on an inlet of the Swale, the channel that separates mainland Kent from the Isle of Sheppey. Other hamlets include Deerton Street, Frognal, and Teynham Street.
The village has a railway station, served by Southeastern trains running between London Victoria and Dover.
Charters of 798 to 801 and Domesday Monachorum — a series of Domesday-related texts kept at Canterbury Cathedral — mention it as Teneham, Taenham, Tenaham and Tenham. In Domesday Book the name occurs as “Therham” (probably a clerical error).
The historian JK Wallenberg (in 1931) suggests an Anglo-Saxon root, tynan, to enclose, followed by the Anglo-Saxon word “Hamm", a land drained by dykes. Another historian, Eilert Ekwall (in 1936), suggests an early owner named Teona, whose name is found in Teonanhyll in Berkshire.
In a dream I had a final vision
How come you just want to be my friend? How come?
Will you ever have to justify
The hidden meaning in your time again, hey
I'm gone, gone just like the past because I'm gone
And you won't be the last 'cause I'll be strong
Now can you hear my voice? Because I'm gone, hey
In an ordinary complication, I come to my realization, how come?
Well, you came to me with velvet skin
How come I did let you in? How come?
I'm gone, gone just like the past because I'm gone
And you won't be the last 'cause I'll be strong
Now can you hear my voice? Because I'm gone
Still it breaks me down inside as I walk through the fire
But I am a stronger man
Nothing will change me at all, you lie
In a dream I had a final vision
How come you just want to be my friend? How come?
I'm gone, gone just like the past because I'm gone
And you won't be the last 'cause I'll be strong
Now can you hear my voice? Tonight I'm gone
I'm gone, gone just like the past because I'm gone
And you won't be the last 'cause I'll be strong
