Hallowed Ground

Well the docks lie crippled

In the northem towns

The boys have all gone away

Trying to find work down south



And mister i walk in the valley of the shadow

Won't someone have mercy on my soul

On my soul, soul, soul



Hallowed ground how sad is the sound

In a valley that once sang out sang proud

Hallowed ground where the ships run aground

To die in the harbour in a rust ridden town, town, town, town



Now i've seen the future

And i've seen the past

And i've seen the lights go down

On this world fading fast



And mister i walk in the valley of the shadow

Won't someone have mercy on my soul

On my soul, soul, soul



Hallowed ground how sad is the sound

In a valley that once sang out sang proud

Hallowed ground where the ships run aground

To die in the harbour in a rust ridden town, town, town, town



And mister i walk in the valley of the shadow

Won't someone have mercy on my soul

On my soul, soul, soul



Hallowed ground how sad is the sound

In a valley that once sang out sang proud

Hallowed ground where the ships run aground

To die in the harbour in a rust ridden town, town, town, town



Now i've got a wife and a young child

Back home in my house

Oh i've got someone

I've got to take care of somehow
