Woodhead Reservoir

Sunlight shining over Woodhead reservoir This boys almost home told the city life au revoir Pine trees surround me clear water so still Heron sitting on the bank well I guess he's had his fill And I'm almost home I'm almost home Almost home for you and you alone Nine miles left for walking Torside's in view Perfume drifting on the breeze reminding me of you Sailors in their sailboats cut a magical display They're heading out they're heading back But I'm heading home today People passing smiling, giving me some time They say hello and how do you go I say I'm doing fine Down this trail of Longdendale Torside left behind Rhodeswood fast approaching bridging Valehouse sublime I'm almost home, I'm almost home Almost home for you and you alone The 628 takes the weight of the wagons trucks and cars Cutting through this land so true and all cuts leave a scar But down below I'm dreaming this is heaven and more Valehouse glistens in the sun with the beauty that it's stored I'm almost there the Bottom stair waters deep and blue Tinsel town may slow me down I'll have a drink or two I'm almost home I'm almost home Almost home to you and you alone Almost home to you and you alone I'm almost home I'm almost home I'm almost home I'm almost home I'm almost home
