about

Inspired by Andy Kemp, the first person to take Jude rock climbing in the Peak District

lyrics

TOUCH THE SKY

The hawks are a-hovering
The windsailers drifting
The moors are a-humming
With the wind and the light
The climbers are slowly ascending
With the rock and the air
And the peak looms beyond us,
Silhouetted by light
And we could almost, almost touch the clouds
And we could almost, almost touch the clouds

The silence is ringing
With the calm all around
The shadows are sailing
With the movement of cloud
The echo of metal a ripple
Like chimes on the wind
The figures are moving
Drawing us in
And we could almost, almost touch the sky
And we could almost, almost touch the sky

The summer is fading
In front of our eyes
The sunlight is changing
With a chill in the air
The climbers are slowly ascending
With the rock and the air
And the peak looms beyond us
Silhouetted by light
And we could almost, almost touch the sky
And we could almost, almost touch the sky
