As I left Brampton
Feeling at last alone
I flew so high
All my bridges blown
Memories deep mined
Leaving the past behind
Going home
Soaring over Yorkshire
I could see the mountain trail
The wind in my feathers
Gusting at my tail
Spirit less confined
Leaving the past behind
Going home
My speckled feathers shone
Like sapphires in the sun
It was time for me
Over crag and lea
I was the only one
Going home
Going home
The border towns below
My family is not far
The river snakes behind me
To the east the reservoir
Life left unsigned
Leaving the past behind
Going home
The great woodland waits
Away from prying eyes
The joy to have made it
In these dangerous sky’s
Seekers never find
Leaving the past behind
Going home
My speckled feathers shone
Like sapphires in the sun
It was time for me
Over crag and lea
I was the only one
Going home
Going home
