Verse 1:
Icy wind of night be gone, this is not your domain
In the sky a bird was heard to cry
Misty morning whisperings and gentle stirring sounds
Belied a deathly silence that lay all around
Chorus:
Hear the lark and harken to the
barking of the dog-fox gone to ground
See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water
And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees
Laughing as it passes through
the endless summer making for the sea.
Verse 2:
In the lazy water meadow I lay me down
All around me golden sun-flakes settle on the ground
Basking in the sunshine of a bygone afternoon
Bringing sounds of yesterday into this city room
Chorus
Solo/Instrumental
Repeat Verse 2
