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
