Cynibil was one of four Northumbrian brothers named by Bede as prominent in the early Anglo-Saxon Church. The others were Chad of Mercia, Cedd and Caelin.
Bede comments how unusual it would be for four brothers to become priests and two of them to reach the rank of bishop. Chad and Cedd were the two who became bishops. According to Bede. When Cedd undertook a forty-day fast to purify the site of their monastery at Lastingham, Cynibil took over the fast on the thirtieth day.
my baby took our love
and then she rolled it up
rolled it up a hill
like a ball of snow
like a snowball grows
until it gets too big
until she lost control
and it rolled back down
and it rolled back down
and it rolled back down
and it rolled back down
she took a tiny bit
and rolled it up again
slower than before
she went a step too far
she had to let it go
i saw it go straight down
my baby turned around
started up again
started up again
started up again
started up again
eyes were made for looking'
hands were made for holdin'
hearts were made for lovin'
lips were made for kissin'
legs were made for walkin'
tracks were made to follow
that's what i'm gonna do
two tracks
in the snow
two tracks
up that hill
my heart broke
when my baby left
