lyrics

The hill out of Fulford is steep and I weep
at the beauty of fields in the rain.
The time that we’re knowing, this journey we’re going
is ours in a way there’s no need to explain.
In a farmer’s green field the lambs graze and we gaze
as the last of our wood fire burns low.
For the day’s getting late and there’s no time for fate
to reveal or conceal what we already know.

The Weston lake waters are pure and the lure
of a swim pulls at all who pass near.
The wind sings a blessing, the clouds are done guessing
their path and you’ll find that there’s nothing to fear.
Blackberries bursting with juice so intense
that the sense of the world seems to spin.
The evenings grow colder, the young year grows older,
till nothing is left but the warmth of your skin.

There are times when I lie awake long after dark
and the spark of a memory sears.
The Beaver Point Hall may be small but its call
reaches down like a river through lifetimes and years.
The last turn to Ruckle comes fast and the past
comes alive like a secret long learned.
I’ll always remember the glow of September days
spent in the woods as the maple leaves turned.

Come wander once more down a path to the shore
where the fawn lilies bloom in the spring.
There’s long miles behind us but fresh trails remind us
that lives can return like the shape of a ring.
What’s sure is today and there’s no one can say
where we’ll be when the last rooster’s crowed,
but through blessings and sorrow, through every tomorrow
I love you to the end of the Beaver Point Road.
