lyrics

Does the swallow dream of flying,
As it sleeps on the wing,
Does it long for the summer,
As it flies home for spring,
Does daisy feel a sadness,
At the last rays of sun,
Does the wind feel a gladness,
At the work that it’s done.

I won’t go making mountains,
Out of molehills,
Anymore,
I won’t go chasing windmills,
Round in circles,
Anymore,
I won’t go preaching sermons,
To the choir what’s it for?
I won’t go through the motions anymore.

Does the river ever wonder,
What will come round the bend?
As it twists and meanders,
Down its slow descent.

I looked out over London,
With my last cup of tea,
My gaze was returned by,
Grey cloud and steel.
