about
Song Three of our seven-song Three Tynes story, repesenting the upper North Tyne. The singer describes her alienation from her community and her longing to share the lives of the wealthy tourists who now bring jobs to her homeland.
lyrics
Who’ll offer a hand
From your merry-go-round?
With all this much fun
Surely there will be one
We’ll run and we’ll dance
We’ll play dare and chance
We’ll have such a time
And all of your friends can be mine
And after farewells
There’ll be tall tales to tell
Of great derring-do so please
Try to speak fondly of me
When I’m here alone
I remember my home
And I can recall
How my kith and kin would
Would cherish this place
And we all as one would
Share our food and our faith
Now that’s history
So what of today?
They wait in a line
For the spade and the coin
There’s food on the plate
There’s drinking til late
They have such a time
But their eyes are different from mine
And now I wait here
For in time you’ll come near
Though you will not see
How I run to keep your company
When I’m here alone
I remember my home
And I can recall
How my kith and kin would
Would cherish this place
And we all as one would
Share our food and our faith
They’ll say I am brave
And worry I’m safe
But come with me, no
We part when I go
From your merry-go-round?
With all this much fun
Surely there will be one
We’ll run and we’ll dance
We’ll play dare and chance
We’ll have such a time
And all of your friends can be mine
And after farewells
There’ll be tall tales to tell
Of great derring-do so please
Try to speak fondly of me
When I’m here alone
I remember my home
And I can recall
How my kith and kin would
Would cherish this place
And we all as one would
Share our food and our faith
Now that’s history
So what of today?
They wait in a line
For the spade and the coin
There’s food on the plate
There’s drinking til late
They have such a time
But their eyes are different from mine
And now I wait here
For in time you’ll come near
Though you will not see
How I run to keep your company
When I’m here alone
I remember my home
And I can recall
How my kith and kin would
Would cherish this place
And we all as one would
Share our food and our faith
They’ll say I am brave
And worry I’m safe
But come with me, no
We part when I go
