Wind in the Willows - Blackmore's Night, John Ford

As I went a-walking

One morning in spring

I met with some travelers

On an old country lane

One was an old man

The second a maid

The third was a young boy who smiled as he said:

«With the wind in the willows

The birds in the sky

There’s a bright sun to warm us

Wherever we lie

We have bread and fishes

And a jug of red wine

To share on our journey

With all of mankind»

So I asked them to tell me their name and their race

So I could remember each smile on their face

«Our names, they mean nothing

They change throughout time

So come sit beside us and share in our wine»

«With the wind in the willows

The birds in the sky

There’s a bright sun to warm us

Wherever we lie

We have bread and fishes

And a jug of red wine

To share on our journey

With all of mankind»

So I sat down beside them

With flowers all around

We et from a mantle

Spread out on the ground

They told me of prophets

And peoples and kings

And all of the one god

That knows everything

«We're traveling to Glaston

Over England’s gren lanes

To hear of men’s troubles

To hear of their pains

We travel the wide world

Over land and the sea

To tell all the people

How they can be free»

«With the wind in the willows

The birds in the sky

There’s a bright sun to warm us

Wherever we lie

We have bread and fishes

And a jug of red wine

To share on our journey

With all of mankind»

So sadly I left them

In that old country lane

For I knew that I’d never see them again

One was an old man

The second a maid

The third was a young boy who smiled as he said:

«With the wind in the willows

The birds in the sky

There’s a bright sun to warm us

Wherever we lie

We have bread and fishes

And a jug of red wine

To share on our journey

With all of mankind»

«With the wind in the willows

All of mankind
