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
