Bluehorses - Dragons, Milk & Coal lyrics

The mining shafts are silent and the pithead baths are dry And no man goes beneath the soil to earn his daily rye Clogging dust has settled and surrounding gra** is green Davey lamps have all gone cold, Their lights no longer seen Dragons Milk and Coal Dragons Milk and Coal The scars on his back made a mark on his soul Dragons Milk and Coal See the rain that's falling on a landscape that is blind, See the rows of terraced houses clearly in my mind Twilight is a golden veil that comes in from the West Memories of my childhood days, I watch the mountain rest Shade your eyes from the brightness of the winter sun, Shade your heart from bitterness and sorrow yet to come Silence is a token gesture of a hollow land Valleys heart means nothing now, They'll never understand Dragons Milk and Coal Dragons Milk and Coal The scars on his back made a mark on his soul Dragons Milk and Coal
