Julian Dawson - Gabriels hill
With empty pockets and a heavy heart
I boarded the boat that would take me away
The cliffs got smaller as we reached the Channel
Then finally disappeared in the spray
It was more than London I was leaving behind
The faces and towns I know so well
The pubs and buses and streets I've climbed
White Horse Bank and Gabriel's Hill
And I feel like an exile the older I've grown
I feel like an exile in my own home
Some cold morning I'll hear the call
And Angels will come to ring that bell
Six white horses will cross the waters
And carry me back to Gabriel's Hill
