There's too many heartaches, too much pain,
Forced to resettle, has started again;
People are leaving, their homes torn down,
There's nothing to do, but just lay around,
Our young ones are leaving, they're all gone away,
No work, no future, no reason to stay;
Homely the lonely, and hold is to cry,
Helplessly watching their town slowly die.
We're helplessly watching our town slowly die,
No one to help us, we don't know why;
Were pleading for someone to please hear our cry,
We're helplessly watching our town slowly die.
No one believed we'd ever see,
A town that lived and thrived from the sea;
One day would go, like a ghost on the wind,
Gone and never to return again.
Our people have scattered, far have they roam'd,
Like gypsies they travel, no place to call home;
They'll always remember, with a tear in their eye,
Helplessly watching their town slowly die.
We're helplessly watching our town slowly die,
No one to help us, we don't know why;
We're pleading for someone to please hear our cry,
We're helplessly watching our town slowly die.
We're helplessly watching our town slowly die.
