I remember everything you said
As we lay together in our bed
The light of joy lit up my heart and soul
I remember everything we did
On the happy night that we were wed
Fulfilment in our very bones is bred
And from our minds the devils have all fled
As we’re taken back into the fold.
For one small hour in Eden we were glad.
The hatred and the pain for now are shed
With love and hope our lives can be more bold.
Even now when you have gone from sight
My sister oh my sister do not die
I feel that I still need you in my world
And Rivington we saw the larks upfly
Anglezarke the reservoir still swirled
Fresh water for old Liverpool’s
supply
I cannot go to Rivington alone
Nor Scotchmans Stump to see birds little bones
Once we lit a fire by a stream.
I’d like to go there now my love my queen.
Sturdy and determined she would climb.
Take the bus to Horwich it’s nearby
We saw ripe elderberries full and fine
In the distance Winter Hill stood high
The highest hill about so high austere
I won’t take you there sweet Eileen dear
How my heart sings
