Rumer - Brave Awakening lyrics

rate me

Mother, I fear for the laddies

There ain't much more coal to go down to

There ain't much more soul to get round to

Not anymore

Mother, I fear for the laddies

Ain't much more soul to get round to

Lessening of companies that are finding

Things to bind to it anymore

I'd hate to just realize why

That company's getting so shy

The bairns don't have get togethers

'Round here not anymore

It's happening all over the city

Talking 'bout going on down to

The town where the money's just bound to

Surely just ease the door

They're telling their sisters of why

Feelings that pass them close by

All that they seek is what they're wanting to keep

And it's glistening right there in their eyes

Oh mother I fear for the laddies

Father, says no one goes down to

The face of some mine no boy of mines

Gonna be bound to, anymore

The future's, a brave new awakening

Have to no more go back down to

Bowels of this earth that will take you

Away from home and more

Home home home

Working in a coal mine
