Lyrics

[Verse 1] Icy wind of night be gone, this is not your domain In the sky a bird is heard to cry Misty morning whisperings and gentle stirring sounds Belied the 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 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 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 A river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees Laughing as it passes through the endless summer, making for the sea
