Their Song - Kevin Johnson

The world was young and no bird sung, And no man wandered the land

And the only sound was the restless wind, And the waves that washed on the sand

And was there something moving, Like a great bird over the land

Was it shining bright in the sunlight, As it silently came down?

And did they run, did they run, In the strange hot sun on the lonely edge of

the sea

Did they stand and look at this lonely world, And wonder what it might be

Did they fly, back into the sky?

Black as the light of a starless night, Was the cloud that covered the sky

And down from the hill, the night was still

Where the summer grasses were high

And it shone like a light, so the farmer said

And it never made a sound

And it came in over the valley, And it landed there on the ground

Do they come, do they come, When it seems no-one is ever likely to know

On the darkened side of some lonely road, Do they stand there watching us go

Do they fly, back into the sky?
