about

1. A Little Piece of Land
Just over the stile by Kishfield Bridge near Kettleshulme is a little piece of land, a landscape close to my heart for more than 40 years.

lyrics

A Little Piece of Land by Carol Fieldhouse

Evening falls, rush hour crawl,
the pavements ringing, subways stream.
This care worn grey, will soon fade away
Far from the city I will leave

For a little piece of land, safe in our hands
Before and after, will remain
A place to touch down, feet back on the ground,
Moss for a pillow, stars for dreams

Far from the road through the stile, overgrown
Leading from Kishfield Bridge....

Home I’m going home now
Finding my way home
Home I’m going home now
Finding my way home

Sweet valley of green where dragonflies dream,
The scent of clover...joy to the bee!
The cuckoo grass glade, places we played,
Tthere will be new songs for you and me

No mobile phones, a broadband ‘no go’
Memories ring from the cliff

Home I’m going home now
Finding my way home,
Home I’m going home now
Finding my way home

I’ll follow the track when I need to come back
From city living to this stream
Yet in my mind this place I can find
In the sweet song the sparrow sings

Far from the road through the stile, overgrown
Leading from Kishfield Bridge....

Home I’m going home now
Finding my way home,
Home I’m going home now
Finding my way home
