Words by Van Morrison music by David Collett & Acker Bilk. Exile Publishing Ltd / Universal Music Publishing Ltd / Paragon Preston Stevens Music Company Ltd. We met deep down in Somerset. A time I canâ€™t forget. When we were sippinâ€™ cider in the shade. Oh the sun was setting in the West. You looked your very best that night. Stars were shining in your eyes. And we walked walked all along the sand. And it felt felt like a wonderland. And when the summer breeze was gone. The memory lingered on. You and me down in Somerset. Instrumental break. Oh we walked walked and walked and walked all along the sand. And it felt just like our love just began. And when the summer breeze was gone. The memory lingered on me and you. When the summer set. We met we met we met deep down in Somerset. A time I canâ€™t forget. You were sippinâ€™ cider in the shade.
