When the harbor came in view
It was there I saw the hilltop
That I used to walk with you
We'd sing of the old country
Now it's such a lonesome climb
Our world faded once when you were mine
Why is true love so difficult to find
Wish you were here to see it with me one more time
Lala lala, lala lala, lala lala, lala
Wish you were here to sing it with me one more time
Those economic vultures
Stole our dreams and told us tales
Then they towed away our culture
To their depot in south Wales
Corporations get the tax breaks
While the city gets the crime
The profit's going somewhere
But it isn't yours or mine
Still we blindly trust in the divine
Let's sing for the old country, come on, one more time
Lala lala, lala lala, lala lala, ooh
Let's sing it loud with feeling, come on, one more time
You know I must be leaving
And I know you've got to stay
But you know that I'll be grieving
When you're so far away
And if this should be the last time
I should ever see your face
Let's part with no hard feeling
And a positive embrace
And I will speak well of you
When they ask when you were mine
Till then the jet stream up above
Shows us the warning signs
Till we meet again bravely walk the line
Let's sing it loud with feeling, come on, one more time
Lala lala, lala lala, lala lala, ooh
Let's sing for the old country, come on, one more, one more time
I was walking on the coast road When the harbor came in view It was there I saw the hilltop That I used to walk with you We'd sing of the old country Now it's such a lonesome climb Our world faded once when you were mine Why is true love so difficult to find Wish you were here to see it with me one more time Lala lala, lala lala, lala lala, lala Wish you were here to sing it with me one more time Those economic vultures Stole our dreams and told us tales Then they towed away our culture To their depot in south Wales Corporations get the tax breaks While the city gets the crime The profit's going somewhere But it isn't yours or mine Still we blindly trust in the divine Let's sing for the old country, come on, one more time Lala lala, lala lala, lala lala, ooh Let's sing it loud with feeling, come on, one more time You know I must be leaving And I know you've got to stay But you know that I'll be grieving When you're so far away And if this should be the last time I should ever see your face Let's part with no hard feeling And a positive embrace And I will speak well of you When they ask when you were mine Till then the jet stream up above Shows us the warning signs Till we meet again bravely walk the line Let's sing it loud with feeling, come on, one more time Lala lala, lala lala, lala lala, ooh Let's sing for the old country, come on, one more, one more time Explain Request ×
