about

The north-east of England is very special in many ways and this is my tribute to the place and the people

lyrics

I would rather be wrong
Than always fear the worst
Sing an honest song
Not a liar’s verse
And if I called you
Would you show me the way
Through the cliff top trails
To Robin Hood’s Bay

Would you take from the rich
What belongs to the poor?
Would you share the spoils
As they wash up on the shore?
And would you guide the exiles
Through the rocks and the waves
To where the boats await
On Robin Hood’s Bay

And when your just deserts
End up on someone else’s tray
And when everything hurts
Would you walk out through the spray?
Watch your last defences just wash away

Evening comes
And in comes the tide
Eating away
At the mountain side
Wash away the heartache, wash away the doubt
Wash away the day
Wash away the light
The light that shines on Robin Hood’s Bay
