Silent Spring

No birds were sitting on my window
No birds tap tapping on the glass
No birds singing when the sun is coming up
So comes the silent spring

No birds flocking round the trees
No birds whistling in the breeze
No birds taking straw to build a nest
So comes the silent spring

The chaffinch and the goshawk
The herring gull and jay
The thrush and the reed bunting
The serin and the dove
The waxwing and the wagtail
The robin and the tit
The blackcap and the gold crest
The corncrake and the rook

The tree creeper and nuthatch
The lesser black backed gull
The common gull and dunnock
The raven at the door
The goldfinch and the stonechat
The kingfisher and coot
The lapwing and the curlew
The sparrow and the wren

Powers of observation catch me looking at the thief
And the judgement and the emptiness of this or that belief
When its values that that we trade in then who am i to say
That this right wrong is a right wrong today

They are singing hymns and verses because some VIP has died
They are singing of the truth because the legacv has come
On the TV and the radio the story is the same
That this right wrong is a right wrong today
