Tao pura-mente acustico

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 the deathly silence

That lay all around.

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 sunflakes

Settle on the ground.

Basking in the sunshine

Of a bygone afternoon

Bringing sounds of yesterday

Into this city room

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 sunflakes

Covering the ground

Basking in the sunshine

Of a bygone afternoon

Bringing sounds of yesterday

Into my city room.

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
