[00:00.00]Lament for Derwent Village - Bella Hardy
[00:15.27]Seven pink roses
[00:21.36]All that I saved
[00:27.56]Faded pink roses crumbling pressed in the page
[00:39.95]Last of the roses
[00:45.57]My sweat and my blood
[00:51.84]My beautiful garden strangled weeds in the flood
[01:02.37]When a heart can be drowned
[01:08.29]When strong stones so easily broken
[01:14.42]Never more will bird song sound
[01:20.79]My fathers stories will no more be spoken
[01:30.11]A single memorial
[01:36.32]The church spire remained
[01:42.88]Cresting the waters surface at least till today
[01:54.75]But they're coming with dynamite
[02:00.25]And she too must go
[02:07.48]She'll lie with the empty graves in that deep black below
[02:17.55]When a heart can be drowned
[02:23.97]When strong stones so easily broken
[02:30.32]Never more will bird song sound
[02:36.59]My fathers stories will no more be spoken
[03:11.27]Home is the landmarks
[03:16.95]Worn rock and marked tree
[03:23.34]The land is your family's story that valley was me
[03:36.20]Seven pink roses
[03:42.38]All that I saved
[03:48.83]Dark tempest waters washed their strong roots away
