Summer Song For Ilkley
sun come up *stamp*
early over cow and calf
beats a path to white wells
the summer's on it's way
let you and I with alacrity
lace our boots
and flask up tea
pack backpacks
pay taxi - (kerching) -
to tramp the day away
sun come up *stamp*
early over cow and calf
beats a path to white wells
the summer's on it's way
come gather one
come gather all
cock your head
and hear the call
of moorland grouse
they ain't shot 'em all
to tramp the day away
sun come up *stamp*
early over cow and calf
beats a path to white wells
the summer's on it's way
o let us sing of swastika stone
sat up there forlorn alone - (ahhhh) -
misunderstood since adolf come - (booooo) -
turn thine wheel
belight new sun
to tramp the day away
sun come up *stamp*
early over cow and calf
beats a path to white wells
the summer's on it's way
twelve apostles they're standing stones
widershins three times she roamed
sprained her foot but carried on
to tramp the day away
sun come up *stamp*
early over cow and calf
beats a path to white wells
the summer's on it's way
sun come up *stamp*
early over cow and calf
beats a path to white wells
the summer's on it's way
