All the years I worked in this place
The friends that I knew here I loved every face
I loved the smoke the heat and the noise
But the profits too small for the black suited boys
Pre-Chorus
Oh angel, it's coming down stone by stone
It's breaking up home by home Take it away, take it away, take it
In this place I will lay my life down
In this place I will let you carry me
As I age so my learning grows
I still touch the vision I still smell the rose in this place
All the years I lived in this place
The people we knew here, I loved every face
I love the parties, the funerals and fights
But a supermarket needs the land and I have no rights
Pre-Chorus
Oh angel, it's coming down stone by stone
It's breaking up home by home Take it away, take it away, take it
In this place I will lay my life down
In this place I will let you carry me
As I age so my learning grows
I still touch the vision I still smell the rose in this place
All the years I spent in this place
The children we raised here, I love every face
I love this country the land of my birth
But how much am I wanted how much am I worth
Pre-Chorus
Oh angel, it's coming down stone by stone
It's breaking up home by home Take it away, take it away, take it
In this place I will lay my life down
In this place I will let you carry me
As I age so my learning grows
I still touch the vision I still smell the rose
In this place I will lay my life down
In this place I will let you carry me
As I age so my learning grows
I still touch the vision I still smell the rose in this place
