Boscastle by JohnPaul

Verse 1

As the stream turns into ocean
Boat rise and defy the tide
Both of them run towards each other
Valency sees Jordan's eyes.

Just a quiet and peaceful village,
Tucked away from the busy lights
Now she's thrown into the spotlight
As the river banks loose the fight.


Verse 2

Helicopters hover over
To pick up the poor and the posh
The country watches the horror
As cars roll around in the wash.

Facing fear and anguish
People feel there is no hope
The lower bridge is lost my friends
Look up, we'll throw you the rope.

CHORUS

Like a 'big rig' punching through a sand storm.
Like an seagull flying through the harbour
With luck on her side,
she doesn't look back
Boscastle you will live again.


Verse 3

The elephant in the ocean
Guards the harbour day and night
And the winds will test the fishing boats
As you feel the briny might.

The river slows is pace now
And reveals the damage done
No lives have been sacrificed
Only bricks and mortar gone.


Verse 4

Storms will come and storms will go
And the scars are plain to see
But this quiet and peaceful village
Just keeps amazing me.

Don't let this one event
Wash away the cobwebs of men
close your eyes, sleep well tonight
Boscastle you will live again.


CHORUS

Like a 'big rig' punching through a sand storm.
Like an seagull flying through the harbour
With luck on her side,
she doesn't look back
Boscastle you will live again.

Like a 'big rig' punching through a sand storm.
Like an seagull flying through the harbour
With luck on her side,
she doesn't look back
Boscastle you will live again.

Boscastle you will live again.
Boscastle you will live again.
Boscastle you will live again.
Boscastle you will live again.
