Lyrics
A village built by the hundreds
Each one to line these green hills
Over passing heaves of land
Overlooking the southern coast
Built of stone and wood
With blood, sweat, and tears
Where there'd be foundations
Held up by our Saxon brothers
Beams of ash
Rooted into...
Wills and plagues
And roots of an ancient oak tree
Standing tall and proud
Against local storm winds
We root, we are
Canal system to port ship
Boats deep down along their side
A port face to trail
Our footprints trail your tail
A road built into the soft-scented hills
Boats strong against storm and gale
Earns her every great tale
Every village
With its steeple
A bond to be their keeper
Seaford winds
Tearing through water's lips
Rivers fill their veins
Flooding all farms
Fracturing acorns
Our ships of winter
Lifted on light drapes of sky
And roots of an ancient oak tree
Standing tall and proud
Against local storm winds
We root, we are
Canal system to port ship
Boats deep down along their side
A port face to trail
Our footprints trail your tail
Our ships of winter
Lifted on light drapes of sky
Waiting for the next big weather warning
Day
Filled with rogue piracy
