 The bells  from the church  tell me nothing  has changed
 As I pass  by these familiar  walls
 Reassured  by these feelings  a warmth  fills my heart
 and the memories  flood back  as the town  gently calls
 Welcome our  son who  returns  from  afar
 with a purse  full  of gold  and the same old  guitar
 that once  courted a girl  as she counted  the stars
 on a bridge  by the mill  on the brue
 I smile as I see old lane house by my side
 from the hillside old linley looks down
 I look at this place that I still call my home
 knowing she still resides in this sleepy old town
 in reply to enquiry I hope and I pray
 that I’ ll not be forgotten and someone will say
 that she still thinks of me in the fondest of ways
 my girl from the mill on the brue
 for I heard from a friend it’s ten years to the day
 since she wed a lad from down Glastonbury way
 so I wish the both joy though my heart true will stay
 to my love from the mill on the brue
 it’ s been fifteen long years since I last walked these streets
 and I fear there’ll pass fifteen anew
 until I return to my sweet Briton town
 and my love from the mill on the brue
