Brave Awakening (Album Version) - Terry Reid

Written by：Terry Reid

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 hear 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 realise why

That company's getting so shy

The bairns don't have get togethers

Round here not anymore

Shame

Mother I hear for the laddies

Talking 'bout going on down to

The town where the money's just bound to

Surely just ease the door

It's happening all over the city

There ain't much more doubt

To get down to

Lessening of reasons

That can send you

Back down for more

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

So mother I fear for the laddies

Father says no one goes down to

The face of some mine no boy of mine's

Gonna be bound to anymore

The future a brave new awakening

Have to no more go back down to

The bowels of this earth that will take you

Away from home and more

Finally got no

Finally got lone

Man try

Everybody done working in going down down working in a

Going down

Everybody work out going down going down down

Working on a going down
