I left to see, to learn
From the wonders in the world
But I knew I would return
As Shropshire’s rolling hills held my heart
I saw wonders I can’t describe
Meet people full of stories
I hated to say goodbye
But Shropshire’s rolling hills held my heart
So many years away
Many jobs, some easy, some hard
But I never stayed
As Shropshire’s rolling hills held my heart
One day I knew
The time was right
My travelling days were through
I was hearing the call of Shropshire’s rolling hills
I returned to my home
So little had changed
I no longer wish to roam
As finally I am back in Shropshire’s rolling hills.
