The Legendary Ten Seconds - Capel Celyn

The wind that ruffles these lonely waters
Ruffled the hair of our sons and daughters
Out of the schoolroom, along the stone alley
To farms on the hillside and houses in the valley

Liverpool city teeming with life
The sailor, the docker, the merchant his wife
All of them must be decently quartered
The masses of people provisioned and watered

They wanted more water
No permission was needed
We wanted our homes
But our needs went unheeded

So they took all our houses, they bulldozed the chapel
Drove the sheep from the hill, transported our cattle
They gave us the notice to dig up our dead
Compulsory purchase, that's what they said

They wanted more water
No permission was needed
We wanted our homes
But our needs went unheeded

The wind that ruffles these lonely waters
Ruffled the hair of our sons and daughters
Out of the schoolroom, along the stone alley
Capel Celyn in the Tryweryn Valley
