lyrics

Wood smoke is gently rising, as I wander home from work
The old, grey mare is weary, dusty coat, shoes filled with dirt
Weighed down with ample pickings of golden apples from Sadie's field
Now we walk by Primrose Lane with slowness in our heels

I've lived here and I've lived there; I must admit, I've liked to roam
Oh but there's nothing like the smell of wood smoke
As we walk the Sussex Downs

I see the robin on Martha's wall that I liken to this life of mine
Bright colors and a tuneful song as it hangs from the columbine

Well I've lived here and I've lived there; I must admit, I've liked to roam
Oh but there's nothing like the smell of wood smoke
As we walk the Sussex Downs

I have seen the seasons turning, I have felt the pull of distant lands
But the sweetness of this life here, it calls my heart to leave those travelling days behind

And old Joe Crow, who never leaves my lawn
Except to feast on the ripened corn
Yes, old Joe Crow, who never leaves my lawn
Except to sleep in the broken barn

Well I've lived here and I've lived there; I must admit, I've liked to roam
But there's nothing like the smell of wood smoke
As we walk the Sussex Downs
No there's nothing like the smell of wood smoke
As we walk the Sussex Downs
