Lost and Gone Lyrics
What a bloody shame: lost and gone, the quietness of the rolling skerry
Having lost my home, no more to fish and swim in the Sule Skerry
Gone are the hills and the misty valleys; the pipeline's coming through
Gone are the streams where the salmon leaps; the pipeline's coming through
A city born, spreading over all; watch it take its hold
Like a barren tree, just a silhouette of black upon gold
Gone are the hills and the misty valleys; the pipeline's coming through
Gone are the streams where the salmon leaps; the pipeline's coming through
It's a bloody shame: eight thousand years of nature's mysterious ways
All torn apart and in her place the starkness of an industrial waste
Gone are the hills and the misty valleys; the pipeline's coming through
Gone are the streams where the salmon leaps; the pipeline's coming through
Having lost my home, no more to fish and swim in the Sule Skerry
Gone are the streams where the salmon leaps; the pipeline's coming through
Like a barren tree, just a silhouette of black upon gold
Gone are the streams where the salmon leaps; the pipeline's coming through
All torn apart and in her place the starkness of an industrial waste
Gone are the streams where the salmon leaps; the pipeline's coming through
