Golden Cider

𝑮𝒐𝒍𝒅𝒆𝒏 𝑪𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒓 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Lyrics and Composition © 2026 Maris S. Where green-clad glens catch morning’s glow Where orchard trees and clover grow One single tree, now strong and tall We planted when I was young and small A cup that warms both blood and soul The kind that makes a house feel whole The room’s aglow, the drink’s on tap As I sit on me Granda’s lap He tells me stories from his past Of happy years through one nice draught Cider, golden blessing A gift we keep on passing From hand to hand through generations Enjoyed by all, on each occasion The orchard holds its breath with me As that time of year is near When all the village makes its way To decorate for harvest day But first the workload must be done All apples picked, ripe from the sun Cider, golden blessing A gift we keep on passing From hand to hand through generations The heart of every celebration I’m standing here, where our tree took root You said it would outlive us both, then laughed I wonder, can you see it bear its fruit As you look down on us from up above? This year, the harvest’s mine to bring back home This is my chance to prove me own Two hands can continue what you started And your life’s work will finally be rewarded With cider, a golden blessing A love we’re all confessing Grown stronger with each passing year And sweeter with each glass we share And when the evening fades to grey And all the worries drift away We’ll sing beneath the moon so bright Cider, you’re me heart’s own light
