# Lost Wellies

[Verse 1]
Down in Ogof Ffynnon Ddu, where the limestone breathes
I've walked these narrow passages since I was seventeen
My wellies know each puddle, every twist and turn
But the cave's got hungry tonight, and there's lessons to be learned

Carbide lamp is flickering, shadows dance on stone
Been coming here for twenty years, this place feels like home
But the mud's particularly thick where the water seeps
And my faithful rubber boots have found their final sleep

[Chorus]
Lost my wellies in the darkness
Left them somewhere in the deep
Now I'm walking home in socks, love
Through the Welsh hills, cold and steep
All those Sunday morning journeys
Down the holes where few men go
Now my wellies guard the secrets
That only cavers know

[Verse 2]
Started out at sunrise with my caving pack
Headlamp bright and spirit high, thought I'd be right back
But the squeeze got tighter, and the passage dropped
When I pulled my foot up next, my boot just never stopped

Tried to fish them out with rope, called to Dai and Sue
But the cave had claimed its trophy, nothing we could do
Twenty quid at Mountain Warehouse, that's what they cost
But you can't replace the memories, now forever lost

[Bridge]
In the local pub they're laughing
At the fool who lost his shoes
But down below in chambers dark
They're paying their dues
Every cavers got a story
Of the kit that got away
But my wellies found their calling
In the depths of Cymru's clay

[Verse 3]
Next week I'll buy another pair, lace them up tight
But I'll think about my old ones in the endless night
Standing sentinel in silence where the water flows
In my favourite cave in Wales, where nobody goes

[Final Chorus]
Lost my wellies in the darkness
Left them somewhere in the deep
Now I'm walking home in socks, love
Through the Welsh hills, cold and steep
All those Sunday morning journeys
Down the holes where few men go
Now my wellies guard the secrets
That only cavers know
Yeah, my wellies guard the secrets
That only cavers know

[Outro]
Down in Ogof Ffynnon Ddu, where the limestone breathes
My wellies wait in darkness, underneath the leaves
