Grantchester Meadows.
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
Be like the deathly silence that lay all around
Hear the knock and hearten
To the barking of the dog fox
Gone to ground
See the splashing of the kingfisher
Flashing through the water
And the river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees
Laughing as it passes through the endless summer
Making for the sea
In the lazy watermeadow I lay me down
All around me golden sunflakes settle on the ground
Basking in the sunshine of a bygone afternoon
Bringing sounds of yesterday into the city room
In the lazy watermeadow I lay me down
All around me golden sunflakes covering the ground
Basking in the sunshine of a bygone afternoon
Bringing sounds of yesterday into my city room.
The Narrow Way.
Flowing in the path
As it leads toward the darkness in the north
Weary stranger's faces show their sympathy
They've seen that home before
If you wanna stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
Before you can find his private room
And you can't delay
Hear the nightbirds calling him
To care and catch the words to say
Close by in the nightmare of your brain
Misty swelling creatures crawling
Hear the roar get louder in your ears
You know the volume as you're on the force
Behind can't conquer all your fears
All your birds aren't really listening
Tell them there is life with every morning
Perhaps today you can when you answer me
It's clear, it's all nights warning
