Mae Moore - Red Clay hills lyrics

I took the whole summer off last year,I had to see the red clay hills before they disappear It was the middle of June, I found myself walking the trails called by a sailor seeking shelter from the north sea gales. I took a room at the Oceanview Motel Pictures of clipper ships up on the wall The Local newspaper read O the deal had been done They're going to level the hills and make work for everyone. Chorus - And the red clay hills, look like they're on Fire The red clay hills, hen the sun rises on the water. The red clay hills. How long will I be able To walk these shores below the red clay hills? My family came from this part of the land, They made an honest living working with their hands. Now everything they once had they held fast, Seems they lost forever long past Just a reminder of a way of life, to good to last. Chorus - God knows you gotta make a living It's hard enough to make your way in the world these days Everybody needs some kind of refuge Like the peace I find in these hills of red clay. Chorus- 2ce *** Thanks Jackie for the lyrics
