The Aqueduct Song (Long Way Down) © Arthur Marshall (2011) Well the summer sun is shining through the summer showers We're in Wales so there's always rain around And we're heading through the bridges at about three miles an hour Lord, its a long way down It's a long way down, it's a long way down Lord, but it's a long way down Well Thomas Telford built it back in 1805 To take us through to Llangollen town I admit I can't pronounce it, and I can't spell it either Lord, but it's a long way down The summer sun is setting as we head back into Chirk To find a pub and moor up in the pound But you've got to admit it, it's a hell of a piece of work But lord, it's a long way down Some live their lives lost in a world of dreams And some keep their feet firm on the ground But I'll take the river, the waterways and streams But lord, it's a long way down Now the summer sun is shining through all the summer showers We're still in Wales so there's still rain around And we're heading through the bridges at about 3 miles an hour Lord, but it's a long way down My thanks go to Arthur Marshall for permission to use these lyrics and video.
