Daybreak Lyrics

I see wind of night be gone
This is not your domain
In this lie a bird is led to cry
Misty morning whisperings and gentle step sounds
Belie the deathly silence that lay all around

Hear the lark and hawk and to the bark and off the dog fox
Gone to ground
See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water
A river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees
Laughing as it passes through the endless summer vacant for the sea

In the lazy woods near Devon I lay me down
All around me golden sun flakes covering the ground
Blazing in the sunshine of a bygone afternoon
Bringing the sounds of yesterday into my own city room

Hear the lark and hawk and to the bark and off the dog fox
Gone to ground
See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water
A river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees
Laughing as it passes through the endless summer vacant for the sea

In the lazy woods near Devon I lay me down
All around me golden sun flakes covering the ground
Basking in the sunshine of a bygone afternoon
Bringing the sounds of yesterday into

Go the walk a mile into the market of the dog fox
Gardens from ground
See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water ground
River of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees
Laughing as it passes through the endless summer making for the sea
