Somewhere In Galloway (A) Poem by jim hogg

There's a river in the valley
Sunlight glints on springtime leaves
Foxgloves deck the riverbanks
An old stone bridge between the trees

You and I went walking down there
Just to watch the river flow
We were young with time to spare
So long ago; a lifetime flown

(chorus)
It's only a moment ‘til the last bells ring
Only a moment since we came this way
Some day our ghosts will meet and sing
Of life and love somewhere in Galloway

There's a young girl, and a young boy
Down the trail of broken hearts
all we see is love and joy
It's how the story always starts

There's a season, and a time, dear
There's a village, and a town
Where true love was yours and mine,
Where love still blooms, and stars look down

(chorus)
It's only a moment ‘til the last bells ring
Only a moment since we came this way
Some day our ghosts will meet and sing
Of life and love somewhere in Galloway
