about

Moelfre Hill overlooks Abergele on the North Wales coast. This song considers the strange coincidences that life provides; and features Cliff Ward from The Willows on violin

lyrics

High on Moelfre Hill
The seasons come and go
Generations built
Solid walls of stone
And they worked and prayed
Among these ancient fields
And watched as children played
High on Moelfre Hill

Was it on Moelfre Hill
That all the hurt began?
Or did it wait until
You took your chance and ran?
As if a child could learn
What joys and sorrows fill
The road of no return
Away from Moelfre Hill

Whatever roads we travel, whatever paths we tread
One day comes a twitch upon the thread
And what coincidence or what strange design
Has brought us here at this place and time?

On Moelfre Hill we play
These sweet resistance songs
On Bastille Day
As if the walls were gone
As if our hearts could talk
As if our love could still
The very ghosts that walk
The paths of Moelfre Hill
Oh, Moelfre Hill
