Birdsong Lyrics

Birdsong lyrics

I hear the birds come greet me in my morning,
They sing the songs of love
in tongues of ages past,
And all the while a vision is unfolding,
The
Moorhen pipes at me, "don't sleep the day away".
And so with cautious steps
I tread
a measured path through vale and rook,
and many signs you'd
want to take me with you.
And I go down to the Landing,
Heron's Flood
flows on storm-clothed
As the harbour lights guide the wanderers home.
I see the sun come greet me in his dawning,
He holds the seed of life
within his aged hands.
And, in the sky, a vast procession streaming,
Royal banners held aloft to mark the halcyon time.
And so I walk in
meads below,
amongst the springs and weevil-gall,
in myriad throngs
the grass will take me with you.
And I climb up to the Hawk's Throne,
Cragshorn lies at Umbrian
and the marram-slopes span the sapient sky.
I feel the night come bidding me his greeting,
He draws a glowing veil
upon a sleepy world.
And in the sky the stars roll through the heavens,
below, the new-hatched dove stares wondrously above.
And so to Esma I am
come
to forge a passageway through time
and all, too soon, you'd come
to take me with you.
And I strike north to the veldt-plains,
Dorn
Ridge melts in snow-gold.
As the Moorhen
pipes the pinkery moon.
Birdsong, so sweetly, hear them calling you
Birdsong, so sweetly, hark
they're calling you.
