When I Was Tealby Abbey

Never released

I'm very low but not too dim
I can still see the faces of you and him
I remember well how it used to be
You remember too obviously

Remember when, remember when i was tealby abbey then
It was not so long ago maybe a hundred years or so
When i was tealby abbey
That's a long long time ago
When i was tealby abbey
That's a long long time ago


When the clock stopped and the rocks dropped
And the gravel started giving away
I can still recall when we were small
But oh what a fateful day


In younger times, children climb
Up and down your walls
And a curse on the day the fates will say
When tealby abbey falls
