lyrics

Demelza

Demelza: auburn as the autumn
Demelza: prouder than a day
Demelza: mother nature’s daughter
Demelza - never fly away.

Demelza: wild as any vixen
Demelza: golden as the dawn
Demelza: pure in your devotion
Demelza: with you I am reborn.

Chorus
The ocean may snatch you but I’ll always catch you
For no ocean is as mighty as the tides of our love
The ocean may snatch you but I’ll always catch you
For no ocean is as mighty as the tides of our love
Run wild Cornish child; run wild Cornish child; run wild Cornish child.

Demelza: loyal as a soldier
Demelza: wise & kind & fair
Demelza: shy but sometimes bolder
Demelza: tawny is your hair.

Demelza: who never carries sorrows
Demelza: who never walks in shame
Demelza: the hope of my tomorrows
Demelza the wind will call your name.

Chorus

(Instrumental)

Chorus

Demelza: wanton as the weather
Demelza: owner of my heart
Demelza: my love, my life, my pleasure
Demelza: never will we part
Demelza never will we part
Demelza never will we part.
