Christos, Sofia and their kids took a holiday to St. Ives and have now MOVED to Cornwall two years later.
This song is from the perspective of SOFIA, who is battling trying to enjoy festivities with her family whilst hearing about tragedies happening in her home country of Cyprus.
lyrics
Our first Cornish Christmas
In the winter of 56’
The turkey is in the oven
And gifts are wrapped for our kids
Pouring out the booze
Soaking in the views
Family together and smiling
Turning on the news
Nothing I can do
My island is dying
Building our home
Traditions of our own
Jumping in the sea
Was oh so frightening
Pouring out the booze
Soaking in the views
Family together and smiling
Turning on the news
Nothing I can do
My island is dying
I can only hold it in for so long
Everyone can tell something is wrong
I’m happy, they’re happy but oh god
Have I abandoned everyone?
