Cornish Heart

Well I held you for the first time today And I'll watch you grow and I'll watch you play In this land of ours that we call our home Filled with Cornish Hearts and with hills of stone Filled with Cornish Hearts and with hills of stone
Where the mines of tin echo emptily And the factory boats have hollowed out our sea It seems so long ago, the prosperity But I will build a life here for you and me I will build a home for my family
And these clifftop homes there beside the sea In the winter months shed no light on me And their dusty panes, empty and forlorn Well they break my heart and my soul is torn Yeah they break my heart and my soul is torn
And these city folk with their tailored suits They try to fell this tree and destroy the roots They won't pull us down we will still stand tall Onen Hag Oll we are one and all Onen Hag Oll we are one and all
Though this land has changed, you'll still hear it ring With the tales we tell and the songs we sing And when you learn the words you will sing them loud You're a Cornish Heart and forever proud You're a Cornish Heart and forever proud Yeah you're my Cornish Girl and forever, forever proud
