I invite you to indulge me in providing a themed post on Swansea in Wales. Thanks to Wikipedia for the public domain photos and to our talented friend, Don Wright, for creating the original piece of music, writing the lyrics and being the musician as well. I hope you enjoy this presentation. Just click on the song title, Swansea Bay, to hear the song. Relax and enjoy the journey.
- Swansea
When I was a boy I used to roam
Three Cliffs Bay
Up there on a clear day
See the vista of Swansea Bay
Summer’s day, we’d go down
To that ugly lovely town
Lying there on the stretching sand
Seemed to me it was the promised land
Sittin at the Slip, lookin over the foam
See the cliffs at Ilfracombe
And I was looking, looking to see
Was there anyone over there really staring back at me
I was searching for a sighting of the man that I would be
But I never saw anyone looking back at me
Came up from down under, been many a day
Swansea Grand
And as we stood on Devon’s down
Gazed across the water at Swansea town
Saw the valley of my home
Saw the hills I used to roam
Heard the laughter, felt the tears
Echoing back across the years
And I was looking, looking to see
Swansea from Kilvey
I was searching for a glimpse of the boy I used to be
Saw him clearly for an instant, but he never saw me
Speeding back along Severn’s shore
Reminiscing, days of yore
Setting sun wrapped up the day
As we headed west for Swansea Bay
