In This Place

All the years I spent in this place The friends 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 Oh angel, it's coming down stone by stone It's breaking up, home by home [Chorus] Take it away, take it away 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 I knew here I loved every face I loved the parties, the funerals, and fights The supermarket needs my land I have no rights Oh angel, it's coming down stone by stone It's breaking up, home by home [Chorus] All the years I spent in this place The childeren we raised here I loved this country, the land of my birth But how much am I wanted? How much am I worth? Oh angel, it's coming down stone by stone It's breaking up, home by home [Chorus]
