Testo The Roving Miner - Jude Edwin-Scott
Testo della canzone The Roving Miner (Jude Edwin-Scott), tratta dall'album Mackerel Sky
Over two hundred thousand men
Lost their jobs to the politicians pen
Scattered like seeds across the glen
The roving miner
Even when the moon is bright
I still see by the miner's light
There's a shadow on my life
The wind is howling
Follow the open road
Like a map through my northern soul
Every corner you will go
You'll see me trying
And now my eyes grow dim
From the coal dust, copper and tin
In my heart there's a choir singing
It keeps me flying
From Cumbria to Lancashire
South Wales to Tyne and Wear
See our lights just disappear
The harbour's fading
Gabriel's hounds they run so fast
This way of life wasn't built to last
Another we dram from the old cut glass
To keep from drowning
Follow the open road
Like a map through my northern soul
Every corner you will go
You'll see me trying
And now my eyes grow dim
From the coal dust, copper and tin
In my heart there's a choir singing
It keeps me flying
Over one hundred and ninety pits closed
Ten years of Thatcher's blows
You'd starve our children
Put us on the road
The Roving miners
Sea Pink grows there now
Our veins exposed somehow
We are the treasure beneath the plough
See us shining
Follow the open road
Like a map through my northern soul
Every corner you will go
You'll see me trying
And now my eyes grow dim
From the coal dust, copper and tin
In my heart there's a choir singing
It keeps me flying
Follow the open road
Like a map through my northern soul
Every corner you will go
You'll see me trying
And now my eyes grow dim
From the coal dust, copper and tin
In my heart there's a choir singing
It keeps me flying
