lyrics

Our Town

Well we came to work the land
Worked it hard and worked it down
To feed the bairns in your arms near our town
Watched the seasons come and go
Watched the livestock's growing old
The fields of green the hills around, our town

And things are changing, there’s troubles all around
Seasons come without warning, don’t let it get us down

The market square is full of folk, young and old are pulling jokes
The pubs are full they stagger out, in our town
In the early morning mist the train it takes them beyond Liss
City lights their dreaming of our town
Well listen Peter's ringing out and there’s singing in the air
William's on his horse in our town

And things are changing, there’s troubles all around
Seasons come without warning, don’t let it get us down

Well the market now is gone and the corporate suits in town
People come, people go in our town
But there’s always a hill that I’ll want to take you to
We can lie and watch this world from our town
Come lie down dear watch this world, from our town

And things are changing, there’s troubles all around
Seasons come without warning, don’t let it get us down
