Flycatcher

To walk the stars
With autumn song
A gust arrives
Reminds us
It's been so long

The umber field
A lake of gold
And like the Sun
I'm leaving
Before this cold

An open wing
The day has come

To follow
The fieldfares
And swallows
Tomorrow I'm in flight
Down to better climes
So we start out
The sleek lines and me
I'm heading south
To warmer skies
But I'll return
To find your song

To walk the stars
The night has gone
To leave the town
A call of colour
Moves us on

And with the tern
The arrows form
The rays are creeping back
Reminds us
It's been so long

An open wing
The day has come

To follow
The fieldfares
And swallows
Tomorrow I'll be home
I'm sure those
Winds have blown
But we start out
The sleek lines and me
Well, I've been south
In warmer skies
But I've returned
To find your song

We stop
When the Sun is out
Let your feathers get warmer
We stop
You know, somehow
It'll never get colder
We stop
When the Sun is out
Let your feathers get warmer
We stop, we stop, we stop
