jim causley - gabbro bowl / the peninsula prayer lyrics
[intro]
consigned to the annals of history
the ancient land of the dumnoni
vestiges rise far as you can see
the [?] from moor to moor
[verse 1]
when first that we were farmers and went to work the land
we changed the course of history then with a [scythe?] in our hand
and then the [witan mason?] [and filled?] with heart and soul
the chisel [guise?] upon his [hand?], behold the gabbro bowl
[chorus]
blow the windy morning, blow the winds+i+o
speed away the morning dew, how sweet the winds do blow
and it’s blow the windy morning, blow the winds+i+o
and it’s speed away the morning dew, how sweet the winds do blow
[verse 2]
so much we have in common; how could we beat apart
that is our beating heart, that is our beating heart
the granite rock and tin that is our beating heart
[verse 3]
our little coastal harbours that brave the wind and rain
our strong and st+rdy farmers come yield for us again
we once were a great kingdom of beauty and of awe
the land does not recognise the lines that humans draw
the lines that humans draw, the lines that humans draw
the land does not recognise the lines that humans draw
[verse 4]
just like the saxon stranger come steal from us again
unite and unite, unite and unite
dumnonia remembers, so brothers we unite
[verse 5]
well, brother beside brother has stood the test of time
as when we fought together in 1549
let river not divide us in jealousy nor care
to mara, our lifes’ blood, our waters we do share
our waters we do share, our waters we do share
to mara, our lifes’ blood, our waters we do share
[verse 6]
oh then, that we were traders to far corners of our land
generations, they have gathered here, the capital of man
unearthed within these ditches, life’s purpose now fulfilled
and feel the thrill of the howling gale
high on hembury hill
[chorus]
blow the windy morning, blow the winds+i+o
speed away the morning dew, how sweet the winds do blow
and it’s blow the windy morning, blow the winds+i+o
and it’s speed away the morning dew, how sweet the winds do blow
