about

An Appalachian-influenced song - both in music and the link with coal country.

It is dedicated to the active protectors of the Hunter Valley and beyond - including Bev Smiles, Wendy Bowman, Steve Phillips and Georgina Woods.

lyrics

FROM THE VALLEY - Lyrics

You can hear the ships at my place
The anthem of another bucket of coal
from the valley

And you can feel the trains at my place
The shunting of another bucket of coal
from the valley

And you can see black piles near my place
The vista of another bucket of coal
from the valley

And you can breath the dust at my place
Fragments of another bucket of coal
from the valley

But there's a road ahead
It's looking good my friend
We could turn around this car
Suicidal running off the edge of the Earth
Does it really have to be this hard?

You don't hear the birds at my place
when explosions tear another bucket of coal
from the valley

No they don't feel the blasts in this place
cause they're banking on another bucket of coal
from the valley

But there's a road ahead...
