about

A beautiful ballad of love found (and lost) from Rob, with some delicate fiddle from Anna.

lyrics

Counted out thirteen roses
So red and so sweet
Took a bus ride to Lincoln
And whom should I meet
But a maiden so fair
With her long golden hair
At the start of a day of still cider

So we went a walking
Greetwell quarry to see
Came across an old kissing gate
Hey, said thee,
If we exchange a kiss
Then our bond we will seal
Here on this day of still cider

So we sat on a rock
And we started to talk
Of music and beauty and
What was wrong with the world
Then she reached in her bag
And she passed me a drop
My first taste of the good old still cider

I still swear to this day
That when it first passed my lips
Something inside me woke up
And the world then made sense
And I knew that the future would always be grand
Thanks to that day of still cider

Now the love that I've found
I thought it'd be there all my life
Til I was dead in the ground
And the beautiful maiden so fair
I thought that she'd become my wife
And she'd always be there and
At our wedding the toast would be made
With a glass of the good old still cider

Now between those grand times
There was still storm and stress
We were often apart
Much to our distress
But when we came together
A toast we would share
With a glass of the good old still cider

Then came the summers of festival fun
With much music and dancing all under the sun
So we moved in together and
The winter survived
Still sharing a glass of still cider

Now the love that we've found
I thought it'd be there all my life
Til I was dead in the ground
And the beautiful maiden so fair
I thought she'd become my wife
And she'd always be there
At our wedding the toast would be made
With a glass of the good old still cider

Now many years later
If we were happily wed
Old and infirm
Lying there on our bed
And when we were buried
One last toast would be made
To the days of the good old still cider
