Unfinished demo - I know Hebden and Sowerby Bridges aren't in Lancashire but you go through them on the way...

lyrics

Cross your heart at Hebden Bridge
And take me out to Pendle
Trains will pass Sowerby Bridge
And lead us on to Fence and Nelson

Walk along the reservoir
It doesn’t get much better, does it?
Coming home to build a fire
To warm ourselves up

Cross your heart at Hebden Bridge, and take me out to Pendle
Rainclouds gather on the ridge
And overlook a thousand people

We can see your house then we
Walk down the valley into Barley
You must be able to see
How you light me up
I’ve not made this up
Please don’t say it’s all downhill from here

Cross your heart at Hebden Bridge
And take me out to Pendle
On the tor, towards the witches
We’re the best of autumn’s apples

And I guess why Providence
Has brought me here again to Roughlee
Take me in your confidence
I’ll listen, not judge
If you need a crutch
But please, stay in touch
Please don’t say it’s all downhill from here
