Laurent Voulzy - Blackdown Lyrics

There is a treasure in Blackdown
Take my hand, we will search high and Lo
There lies a treasure in Blackdown
In Blackdown together we will go
I know where
Up the lane leading to the gate
Push it open and then go straight
At the junction you'll turn right
Take your time, the sun's still bright

There is a treasure in Blackdown
Take my hand, we will search high and Lo
There lies a treasure in Blackdown
In Blackdown together we will go
I know where
Up the lane leading to the gate
Push it open and then go straight
At the junction you'll turn right
Take your time, the sun's still bright

And when you see the oak just turn round
I know you think the treasure can't be found
Take a glance between the two twisted trees
Hear the wind sing in their leaves
There is a treasure in Blackdown
Take my hand, we will search high and Lo
There lies a treasure in Blackdown
In Blackdown together we will go
I know where
Up the lane leading to the gate
Push it open and then go straight
At the junction you'll turn right
Take your time, the sun's still bright

And when you see the oak just turn round
I know you think the treasure can't be found
Take a glance between the two twisted trees
Hear the wind sing in their leaves
There is a clue in the song my son
Hidden in the words by Tennyson
It can't be far, be on your way
From the serpent's trail, do not stray
You may be tempted by the ripe berries
We can't always do as we please
Oh don't touch a single speck of dust
Everything belongs to the national trust
When you reach a seat of stone
Have a little rest on this throne
Now get up, and let us begin
You're still cold at the temple of the wind
Keep going it's not too far
The longer you seek, the warmer you are

There is a treasure in Blackdown
Take my hand, we will search high and Lo
There lies a treasure in Blackdown
In Blackdown together we will go
I know where
There is a treasure in Blackdown
In Blackdown wonder when you are grown
There lies a treasure in Blackdown
You will find your way on your own
