Newbarn Hanger from Sand Tracks by Mike Knee
Newbarn Hanger, a wooded glade on the dip slope of the South Downs, is one of my favourite places in the world. Once in a while a deer crosses my path. And perhaps once in a while you too will do the same.

Lyrics
It’s late again
I’m on my own again
the school run is over and done, it’s quiet here
the tractors safely stacked on pavements
outside coffee shops in country towns
once in a while you cross my path
once in a while you cross my path
I’ll try not to stand in your way
once in a while you cross my path
a blessing, a spark
on an indifferent day
It’s late again
am I alone again?
time and tide have passed me by, it’s quiet here
in these southern hills
silent as birds, silent as flight
once in a while you cross my path
and my heart leaps with joy
It’s late again
just you and me again
listen low, mind my feelings quiet here
find a way
what can the head learn from the heart?
and can the head inspire the heart?
once in a while you cross my path
and I must be on my way
