About a village in Somerset, UK.

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 watched 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 hedgegrows 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 this chance to drop into st michael and all angels and offer up a prayer
