Lost village

Listen to the track:

Lost Village

There is evidence of old buildings on the cliff behind the beach, was there once a village out in the bay ??

 

[Verse 1]
Where are the people now
Who made their homes out there?
I scan the distant shore
And try to hold their stare

[Verse 2]
The church once held them close
Before their world was changed
It may have prayed to older gods
But they gathered just the same

[Chorus]
Under the waves
Out of our ken
The lost village lies still
And you may hear the bells again
Through the storm-swept chill

[Bridge]
If you look hard
You’ll catch a trace
A Saxon hearth,
A vanished place
The cliff gives way
To wind and sand
Where once stood homes
On solid land

[Chorus]
Under the waves
Out of our ken
The lost village lies still
And you may hear the bells again
Through the storm-swept chill

[Outro]
And you may hear the bells again
Through the storm-swept chill
