I will live in this village
with cornflowers blue,
I will love in this village,
with cornflowers blue,
I will love in this village,
a love that is true.
I will glean from each day,
no minute to waste,
I will live in this village
I will live in this village
to quieten my haste.
I will love the large skies
with their dark twinkling hues,
I will smell sacred earth
with a love that is true.
But all I ask, is a slowness of pace,
I am seeking dear lord
to not let it race,
for the time is now
to enjoy what we can.
I will walk in this village
along green tiny lanes
only no one will see
the heart that is pained.
The tiny church,
strong in it’s place
holding all memories
I came face to face.
I came face to face.
The sorrows of many
who went before,
who lived in this village
with love just the same.
And like my sorrows
they lived in this place
they loved in this village
with cornflowers blue,
they loved in this village
a love that was true……..
