E
Icy wind of night be gone. This is not your domain.
In the sky a bird was heard to cry.
 A
Misty morning whisperings and gentle stirring sound
 E
Belied a deathly silence that lay all around.

Chorus:
A                         G             F#m         E
Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dog-fox gone to ground.
A                         G          F#m             E
See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water.
       A                  G        F#m               E
And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees,
 A                                G               F#m            E
Laughing as it passes through the endless summer making for the sea.

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:
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

In the lazy water meadow I lay me down
All around me golden sun flakes covering the ground
Basking in the sunshine of a bygone afternoon
Bringing sounds of yesterday into my city room

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
