wales is a green place

wales is a green place
ive seen it i know in this case
i climbed the mountain near the house
past some sheep and without a rain douse
the water way down was blue and vast
the hill was big and the car rode fast
we drove awhile to get out there
but as we drove the hills were bare
small town and not too much fuss
i wonder if i coulda taken the bus
but this was the spot where i was born
and in a way my dad seemed forlorn
he seemed to miss the green mountain
thats the place i guess his youth fountain
but over in the states we've got our place
he's done well for himself again
i got some fish n chips over there
a regularly surved pub fare
and the fishing was done off the beach
the docks there just out of reach
i was thinking this place was rather nice
and my dad gaveme his advice
the green places out of the way
are the best places to spend a day
and so we visit from time to time
and he seems sad to see the spot
he took awhile to buy that house
and now regrets losing the plot
apparently the price when way up
and he'd've made quite a bit
but he's not the type to give a fuck
didn't bother throwing a fit
they speak welsh in those places
not one that i know well
but my dad had figured out a few words
took him awhile you could tell
we stood on the castle, near the water
and it seemed to be a tourist spot
took some pictures with the cam
and browsed a store with shit to be bought
but went home with a full tum
fish n shit gets it done
and as we sat looking glum
we swore we had alot of fun.
