Take me back again to your world I want to revel in the memory There's only so much juice to squeeze out this lemon tree Come now One for the ages, so the birds can nest Home from the play, I grow cynical But I'll sit with my anger till it weeps Oh, bend to my pleasure, let it please Amsterdam in June, a good year For stepping out, acknowledging Back to where the family perched in 1973 Come now Sing for the bluejay in the yard at dawn When did we get so damn serious? Won't you sway with your sadness, make it laugh? Ooh, armed with the future and the past And from this night gloom soars the bird High above Lake Superior Fresh water ripples underwing Here where the wild geese come to sing Catch me at the edge of waking The focus fades and wanders Dust, a little dance in new light, an echo rings Come now Where is your fondness so familiar? It's only a habit you tailored Stitch on what you find out when you do There's threads of the old in the new Oh Oh Oh, sing as the wild geese Oh, sing as the wild geese Oh, sing as the wild geese Oh, sing as the wild geese
