Blue Remembered Hills - words and music Casimir Greenfield

Skim a brittle frozen lake

And dance into my heart again

Melt my mind with breaths of spring

And lead me to The May

When the nights are lighter 

And when the days are lengthening

Bluster me with morning thrills,

Lead me to my Blue Remembered Hills

Fill my sky with untold stars

Breathe me into life again

Sketch my air with summer nights

And choose for me the way

Your magic hour at sunset

When reds and golds surprise

Roll my tongue with sugar pills

And lead me to my Blue Remembered Hills

Once we were callow young

With all our years before us

Ever two together as one

Now with our new found song aching to be sung

We’ll cast our dreams upon the Blue Blue Hills

So dance me through the Valentine

To where our love is sheltering

Shower me in blossom sparks

Of hawthorn’s scented day

’til sage Augustus clothes us

In frosted robes of silvery

When seasons move against our will

We’ll walk upon our Blue Remembered Hills

When seasons move against our will

On Blue Remembered Hills
