lyrics

once more into the woods, my friends
you, my former selves, on either flank
re-tracing and re-making
paths along the river bank.
some of us were here last week
and some of us are in our teens
running single file
counting down the steps to Giant's Castle Bridge.

once more into the woods, my friends
you, my former selves, for company
not faltering where the path splits
because we know where both ways lead.
some of us go left and up
and some of us go right to find
the Bollin by our side
and eddies binding time beneath Kingfisher Bridge.

climb the hill and through the field
past the old Apprentice House
the scarecrow needs a change of shirt
'cause the birds now have their doubts
and look here come the others
from a different mile
their feet have buffed the lonely stones of Chapel Bridge.

once more into the woods my friends
you, my former selves, on either side
running with the same feet
we're all still alive.
some of us are slowing down and
some of us are striding out
heading for the mill
only one more bridge to cross at Heron's Pool.

following paths we've made.
