lyrics

THE INNOCENT YEAR
Tune: Trad (Innocent Hare - Copper Family).
Re-worked Lyrics & Arr. Graham Pratt

1. The old year now has run its course,
So bid farewell with no remorse. (x2)
Through every season we've danced and sung; (x2)
Forward now we'll step without fear
To welcome the New and Most Innocent Year.

2. Through summer sun and cold winter rain
The year has brought us both joy and pain. (x2)
Then say farewell retiring year; (x2)
Forward now...

3. The months fly by the days creep slow
And hours they vanish like melting snow. (x2)
Let go the past! See how it flies! (x2)
Forward now ...

4. The year has led us a noble run
Success to sportsmen ev'ry one. (x2)
(Such) A chase it has led us both high and low; (x2)
Forward now ...

Concert recording in front of live audience.
It appeared on our very first CD "SpiteWinter" (no longer available).
