Lyrics
The wind blows through
The Hitching Stone
And sounds for Lammas Fair
We’ll bless the grain
And burn the wheel
Breathe the harvest air
The site we camp
Will blur the lines
From the red rose
To the white
Send out smoke to the parting sky
On a waning summer’s night
The sound of hooves
Upon the lanes
Will echo across the moor
And so we gamble
Make our claim
On the racing of the horse
So take the road
From Buckstone gate
And over Cowling hill
For Lammas Fair
Will mark the time
Of the new grain and the mill

Henry Parker's contemporary take on folk, which he explores via thoughtful yet deeply accomplished guitar playing, unfurls and moves much like the landscape itself - mirroring the unpredictable, yet beautifully flowing, rolling hills and valleys of his hometown, the Aire Valley in West Yorkshire.
