lyrics

When the snow fell I remembered
the raven sang to the embers
dying in the cold grate as the
coal came slow along the
rail tracks and the road was blocked
as I walked through Coton Hill

When the rain fell through the winter
I watched the river grow faster
and the green grass stopped its
growing and the mill stone stopped its grinding
there was nothing stored for eating
'til the coldness left Coton Hill

Seen the summer, spring and autumn
touch the heart of Coton Hill
seen it breaking, seen it laughing
seen it dying, seen it loving
as I passed the hours in Coton Hill

When the dove flies to the mountains
then I know the more we make
the more that will be broken, and the
freight train can carry nothing
and the inns will not be open
now no one rides through Coton Hill
