[00:23.00]It was a coal town.
[00:28.62]He spent his whole life
[00:30.29]In a hole in the ground-
[00:32.32]Smashing pieces of earth.
[00:36.95]He never really saw the sky.
[00:39.41]It was a hard life,
[00:45.23]But little black rocks make televisions work,
[00:49.10]And put food on the table.
[00:52.98]Until the unions cast him aside.
[00:56.84]
[00:57.28]Now there's a hundred challenging things a boy can do.
[01:05.38]And you've waved goodbye,
[01:07.78]And held more tears in-
[01:09.96]Than anyone ever should.
[01:12.71]And all my sorrows pale to insignificance-
[01:20.97]That's why I love you.

[01:45.50]She was in a strange land.
[01:51.38]She taught herself to read
[01:53.37]From doing crosswords and hiding her accent.
[01:59.59]She cast her dreams aside.
[02:02.28]She had a spark in her eye.
[02:08.00]She never saw her son on his wedding day.
[02:11.67]Or our cherry blossoms falling down from the sky.
[02:19.32]
[02:19.92]Now there's a hundred challening things a boy can do.
[02:28.04]And you've waved goodbye,
[02:30.50]And held more tears in-
[02:32.73]Than anyone ever should.
[02:35.42]And all my sorrow pales to insignificance-
[02:43.68]That's why I love you.
[02:52.05]
[03:09.71]No coal mines-
[03:11.78]No, not a trace.
[03:13.78]Now shopping malls take their place.
[03:17.81]No picket lines.
[03:23.94]
[03:26.40]The sacrifice-
[03:28.57]Dreams overrun.
[03:30.60]Hopes for a future for her son in Ollerton.
[03:41.00]
[03:42.94]And there's a hundred challenging things a boy can do.
[03:50.88]And you've waved goodbye,

[04:31.94]Wave goodbye-
[04:36.32]Wave goodbye.
[04:39.29]Say goodbye to you.
[04:40.65]Wave goodbye-
[04:44.71]Wave goodbye.
[04:47.61]Say goodbye to you.
