Lyrics

By the Old Brickworks

[Verse]
By the old brickworks
Where the red clay lay
Met a lass so fair
On a cloudy day
Sweet Sarah McGee
With eyes of emerald green
Time stood still
Like a dream unseen
[Verse 2]
We laughed by the kiln
'neath the stars so bright
The fire in her eyes
Matching the night's light
Our hearts wove tales only we could know
In the shadows of the brickworks
Where love did grow
[Chorus]
Oh
Sarah McGee
Where have you gone?
Left me with memories
The night's still long
The old brickworks stand
But sorrow is deep
For the love that we knew
In the nights we’d keep
[Verse 3]
Empty echoes now haunt the bricks and clay
The laughter we shared
Now whispers that sway
The path where we walked
Overgrown by time
But the love for Sarah
Forever mine
[Verse 4]
Now the bricks crumble
Like the dreams we built
Tears mix with dust
Bearing the guilt
For letting go the hand
That held me tight
By the old brickworks
Under the moon's light
[Chorus]
Oh
Sarah McGee
Where have you gone?
Left me with memories
The night's still long
The old brickworks stand
But sorrow is deep
For the love that we knew
In the nights we’d keep
