lyrics

'Somerset'

The place I love has a happy name
It sounds like childhood playing in the sun
And mine was one such happy one

The place I love is a powerful place
That sometimes heals and sometimes lays you low
A place that many people know

Somerset
I seemed to me the time was always summertime
Somerset
I seemed to me the time was always summertime
And the sun would shine

Life was better than the city
Peacocks calling in the spring
Valley's lying still and pretty
Times when we grew everything

People came and filled the house
Lived from love to love and day to day
And in the summer valleys we could hide away

Oh don't you want to come and walk in the night with me
And smell the sweetly flowering trees
Oh don't you want to come and talk in the night with me
And see the sky lit up with stars?

Well the hippies left and life grew quieter
Children who had seen it all
And settled down in London town
Became a singer and a writer

And the happy times they come and go
People die and children grow
But it always stays the place you know
thought the times may change
