about

Highpark Cottage, Loweswater in the English Lake District. No better place on earth. The Kirkstile Inn, Grasmoor, Herdwick sheep and no-one for miles. Heaven!

lyrics

The walls here are of dry stone
Protecting pink-eared lambs and sheep in brown woolly jumpers

There’s a stream down there between the trees
But you hardly notice
For all around are the mountains.

Whiteside and Grasmoor to the left
And ahead Mellbreak with a small cottage at its foot.
You’ve surfed the scree on Green Crag
Diced with death on Striding Edge
And standing on Illgill Head, turned your face from the madness of Windscale to Yewbarrow and Green Gable in the west

But this is the moment
Drinking the mountains
There’s not much here – just a church and an inn.
(“Blessings of your heart, you brew good ale”.)

This is the moment
Defining the memory
The light of an angel’s smile
Living on in lakeland spring
