So much time has gone
since we worked out in these open fields
With the hope of generations pulled around us
and a strength revealed
And so much has been done since we ran around the Snaigow wood
Never knowing where our gentle lights might lead us
Or indeed they could.
CHORUS
And we do not stand alone
And though their dreams were small
O their true and rural hearts were strong
And with an honest smile
that burns from somewhere distant
They helped us all along
CHORUS
And in these silent hours
when reflection lays our journey down
And we think on all departed conversations
It’s such an earthy sound
