The Great Park

Windsor Great Park is a Royal Park of 2,020 hectares (5,000 acres), including a deer park, to the south of the town of Windsor on the border of Berkshire and Surrey in England. It is adjacent to the private 265 hectares (650 acres) Home Park, which is nearer the castle. The park was, for many centuries, the private hunting ground of Windsor Castle and dates primarily from the mid-13th century. Historically the park covered an area many times the current size known as Windsor Forest, Windsor Royal Park or its current name. The park is managed and funded by the Crown Estate, and is the only royal park not managed by The Royal Parks.

You Were Somewhere, You Thought You Were Nowhere

So as the night falls low upon the valley
Come the coal men carrying the smoke
And as they walk down you give everyone a blessing
As they walk down you're sure to let them know
That as they go below they are thought of
Out of sight in the mine but not forgotten

For you have hidden here underneath the red barns
And here you stay where the sirens do not sing
You got a safe place far from the border
No trouble no smoke upon the wind
Far away the same day good people do struggle
Out of sight in the mine not yet forgotten

Trees all asunder sheltering and sullen
No one reads maps we've had years being lost
You say you found a road out well no one needs to know that
You been wrong so many times where's it gonna stop
You were somewhere you thought you were nowhere you burnt it down
Out of sight in the mine half forgotten

And if you ever hear a bell toll out beyond the obelisk
Grab what you can carry and forget about the rest
I'm almost through the field you're still looking for the documents
I got half of the harvest got a fistful of bread
You were somewhere you thought you were nowhere you burnt it down
Out of sight in the mine soon forgotten

You are a child of the cloth and you've rarely been truthful
You can only be yourself when you're wearing a mask
You got no love for people and the feeling is mutual
You been looking for that coal dust down in the dark
You were somewhere you thought you were nowhere you burnt it down
Out of sight in the mine as if forgotten

It's in the water the rainfall the river
You picked it up and it poured away
You say you like to live alone how do you like to feel at home
Underneath the channel in the wet mud and clay
You were somewhere you thought you were nowhere you burnt it down
Out of sight in the mine nearly forgotten

I'm not my father and you're not your mother
Our weight is all our own
We have never been more than we can carry
And we got to measure everything in muscle and bone
And in coal alone there is a blackness
Out of sight in the mine almost forgotten

You leave the barn and right away it's dark inside
You take the light the moment you are gone
And from here on the hillside the cries from the coach road
A noise like boys travels far from home
You were somewhere you thought you were nowhere you burnt it down
Out of sight in the mine forgotten
