CAREY GULLY © 1974 Peter Head
You go on down Piggy Lane through the flowers
That paint the hills as far as you can see
And that's where I while away my hours
Hours of eternity
In a little tin shed on the hillside
Where we sit and drink our peppermint tea
And the candlelight flickers inside
'Cos we havent got electricity
But I know I've found peace in Carey Gully
And I haven't known that state of mind before
And I sing as I walk down in the valley
'Cos those city things don't bother me no more
Well it's taken such a long time to get there
And we've travelled a long winding road
Now I sit in my old rocking chair
And my darling I never will go
You go on down Piggy Lane through the flowers
That paint the hills as far as you can see
And that's where I while away my hours
Hours of eternity
In a little tin shed on the hillside
Where we sit and drink our peppermint tea
And the candlelight flickers inside
'Cos we havent got electricity
But I know I've found peace in Carey Gully
And I haven't known that state of mind before
And I sing as I walk down in the valley
'Cos those city things don't bother me no more
Well it's taken such a long time to get there
And we've travelled a long winding road
Now I sit in my old rocking chair
And my darling I never will go
