The Gillies Inspired by this project wrote The Air Door Keeper of The House of Abraham Phillips - The Lan Colliery Film Project The Air Door Keeper of Lan Moses LLewelyn pulled his flat cap on his head Why didnt you turn and go back home like they said. Just a young boy of 12, heading underground His eyes shut tight with coal dust. Only his mother will recognise his face. A black dog crossed your path, would your lucky penny keep you safe. Stay Home Stay Home.. Stay Home Stay Home. Young John heard knocking underground. Abraham calls out Keep Calm Boys 12 lives go out, 87 buried alive Did they smell a rose deep in the mine. Were the death flowers calling A flickering light of the corpse candle burning. Stay Home Stay Home.. Stay Home Stay Home. If you see a robin, a corpse bird round the pit-head. If the Air Door Keeper sees a glow beneath the ground. No Chance. No Chance for the boys no chance. If you hear the ghost cries. Heed the warnings that keep you safe, dont wait in line, Did your mother kiss your forehead for luck, before you go down the mine. Stay Home Stay Home.. Stay Home Stay Home. Paraffin candles left burning to rest your souls. A mothers cost of mining coal. I will hear a thousand words of sorry from now until then. I light one , just for you my love. I march just for you my love. I protest , just for you my love…. I dont bend my knees at God or for anyone , anymore. Susan Turner Mark Gilly Evans April 2014 C
