I have driven a road made silver by the moon.
Seen Dounreay bay at dusk.
I have seen dawn rising over Dover.
And mist rising from the waters of Lough Neagh.
What need have i for flying?
I have driven here many a mile
I have seen many wondrous sights.
I have driven above the clouds in cumbria.
Seen the peaks stand clear in relief.
I have driven through the highlands of scotland.
Marvelled at the visions of England through Borders roads
This glorious land of Britain.
This land of peaks and troughs.
What need have i for flying?
Why the need to be above the clouds?
Why not stay at ground level
And appreciate the more.
I have seen the sights of this country.
I have seen the light and shade.
From the people busy citys
And a silent shadowed glade.
All this and more i have witnessed.
All this and more tis true.
And still i return to Yorkshire.
My one true love and true.
