Yellow orange a few leaves on the floor
Yellow orange falling down
Yellow orange crunch
Easy run today
Easy run, easy breathing
Time standing still, passing Chatsworth
Looping round onto the Monsal Trail
Back onto the White Peak Trail
Not gonna overdo it, just listen
Just breathe and then a steaming bowl
Of apple crumble with double cream
When I get home, home, treat myself
Running through the golf course
Running into Bakewell town
Running, always running on
Trail washed away
Trail slippery, rocks beneath
Trail enters Bakewell just above
Just above the station there
Loop down, over trail
Right turn, straight through the station
Back up under the old bridge
Like threading a needle through
Threading through onto Monsal Trail
Onto the trail again
Towards Darley Dale now
Now the rain is falling still
Still raining, still running
Still moving through the puddles
Stop for a bit, puddles building
Building up along the trail
The trail runs out towards the end
A blocked off tunnel, shoot off right
Back left under the old bridge
Cross country piece of trail, that’ll take me up
Up where I started from
From Rowsley hit the White Peak trail
Follow the train track back down
Back down to Darley Dale again
Back down, back down again
This Monsal trail, so important
So important during lockdown days
We used to come
All the time with the buggy running
Pushing Luca along the path
With Harry and Ami running
Running alongside us always
Honestly, without that trail
Without that trail I’m not sure
What we would have done
To keep ourselves sane
Stretch now
Tired legs at the top
Back at the top of the hill
Overlooking Derwent Valley
Down to Rowsley in the distance
Still raining, always raining
Apparently there’s an Alsatian
On the loose somewhere near
Just past the blackest mushrooms
Darkest mushrooms I’ve ever seen
Blackest, darkest mushrooms growing
Under a hawthorn bush they stand
Tall stems and dark black heads
And lines and little bunches
Shiny tops under the rain
Light glinting off them strangely
Dark, dark black or dark brown
Amazing mushrooms in the rain
Yellow orange a few leaves falling
Still raining on the trail
Still running through the valley
Still
