Album: Every Valley (2017)

  • In the places of my boyhood
    The pit-wheels turn no more
    Nor any furnace lightens
    The midnight as of yore

    The slopes of slag and cinder
    Are sulking in the rain
    And in derelict valleys
    The hope of youth is slain

    And yet I love to wander
    The early ways I went
    And watch from doors and bridges
    The hills and skies of Gwent

    In Gwalia, my Gwalia
    The vandals out of hell
    Ransacked and marred forever
    The wooded hill and dell

    They grabbed and bruised and plundered
    Because their greed was great
    And slunk away and purchased
    The medals of the state

    And yet I love to wander
    The early ways I went
    And watch from doors and bridges
    The hills and skies of Gwent

    Though blighted be the valleys
    Where man meets man with pain
    The things my boyhood cherished
    Stand firm and shall remain

    Though blighted be the valleys
    Where man meets man with pain
    The things my boyhood cherished
    Stand firm and shall remain

    Though blighted be the valleys
    Where man meets man with pain
    The things my boyhood cherished
    Stand firm and shall remain

    Though blighted be the valleys
    Where man meets man with pain
    The things my boyhood cherished
    Stand firm and shall remain

    Though blighted be the valleys
    Where man meets man with pain
    The things my boyhood cherished
    Stand firm and shall remain

    Though blighted be the valleys
    Where man meets man with pain
    The things my boyhood cherished
    Stand firm and shall remain

    Though blighted be the valleys
    Where man meets man with pain
    The things my boyhood cherished
    Stand firm and shall remain

    Though blighted be the valleys
    Where man meets man with pain
    The things my boyhood cherished
    Stand firm and shall remain

    Though blighted be the valleys
    Where man meets man with pain
    The things my boyhood cherished
    Stand firm and shall remain

    Though blighted be the valleys
    Where man meets man with pain
    The things my boyhood cherished
    Stand firm and shall remain Writer/s: Idris Davies, J. Willgoose Esq, James Dean Bradfield
