On the hill
High up on the Downs
If it's clear
You can see for miles and miles
Down below
All along the coast
Near the rocks
The sun on the sea glitters everywhere
Meanwhile up in the air
The birds they swoop
Up here
You know it's hard to describe
Then we walked
Right around the fort
And then we talked
We spoke about the olden days
Of a time
Many years ago
Forgotten days
When life was simpler than we know
Meanwhile up on the air
The birds they swoop
They dive
There's another world
Up here
You know it's hard to describe
On top
Of Cissbury Ring
Four seasons in a day
Confusi9on drifts away
On Cissbury Ring
Meanwhile up in the air
The birds they swoop
They dive
There's another world
Up here
You know it's hard to describe
On top
Of Cissbury Ring
Four seasons in a day
Confusion drifts away
On Cissbury Ring
