about

Spring song with vocals and acoustic guitar

lyrics

Cold days are over, gone now to bed
Winter lays down weary head
Time now to feel how the warmth on my skin
Tells me it’s all to begin

Thrush starts to nest
In white blossomed hedge
Soon she’ll be gone like the rest

Going home again
Going home again

Butterfly courtship, fine sight to see
Dancing in circles round me
Nightjars and Redstarts all to return
So too the brave Arctic Tern

First to survive
Fifty thousand miles
Back to the Solent they fly

Chalk streams in sunbeams, white as a pearl
Catching the light as they curl
Sparrows in hedgerows sing to the day
They too will be on their way

Wrens soon appear
Gem-like and clear
Swift in the mid morning air
