BUTCOMBE

Have you ever been to heaven on a Sunday afternoon

Have you ever heard the birds sing perfectly in tune

Have you seen the summer sunset or seen the new day dawn

Then you will understand its beauty and wish you were

Butcombe bred and born

If you come into our village as a stranger to behold

we'll take you to the fairytoot that may still be filled with gold

Should you believe in ghosts we have one here for you

He lives down at the vicarage so we know it must be true

We have an ancient wishing well we hope you will want to see

and have at least one wish or maybe two or three

Now walk along the hedge-grows and see cowslips in the spring

Or visit us in winter and marvel at jack frost on everything

Winter spring or summer you will see God's beauty everywhere

So do not miss the chance to drop into St Michael an All Angels

and offer up a prayer.
