This is a song about the about the town of Beaconsfield in the Tamar Valley. A very special place with a great community and surrounded by beautiful countryside.
lyrics
In the warm blue light, sunny afternoon
Driving through the valley that we now call our new home
Sunlight on the pastures, as the river flows
Mountains in the distance as we drive by Tamar Rose
And everything's a little bit special here
And everything's a little bit sweeter here
Town of Gold
Far from city life, away from all the crowds
The Church stands in the high street as if to touch the clouds
I turn to you my country wife, you smile at me again
We're there by the bakery on Jubilee Lane
And everything's a little bit better here
And everything's a little bit special here
And everything's a little bit sweeter here
Town of Gold
I always need a place to go
A place to just be free
A town that's full of friendly folks
A great community
In the warm blue light, sunny afternoon
Driving through the valley that we now call our new home
Sunlight on the pastures, as the river flows
Mountains in the distance as we drive by Tamar Rose
And everything's a little bit special here
And everything's a little bit sweeter here
And I thank God that He brought me here
Town of Gold
Town of Gold
