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 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
Seems so long ago, prosperity
But I will build a life here for you and me
I will build a home for my family

In these clifftop homes there beside the sea
In the winter months shed no light on me
And their dusty panes, empty and flawed
Well they break my heart, my soul is torn
Yeah, they break my heart, my soul is torn

And these city folks 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
Oh, none to haggle, we are one and all
Oh, none to haggle, we are one and all

Know this land had changed, you'll still hear it ring
With the tales we tell, the songs we sing
When you learn the words you will sing them aloud
You're a Cornish heart and ever proud
You're a Cornish heart and ever proud
Yeah, you're my Cornish girl and forever proud
