Grantchester Meadows

[Intro]

*birds tweeting and bees buzzing*

[Verse 1]

Icy wind of night be gone, this is not your domain

In the sky a bird was heard to cry

Misty morning whisperings and gentle stirring sounds

Belied the deathly silence that lay all around

[Chorus]

Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dog fox

Gone to ground

See the splashing of the kingfisher

Flashing to the water

And a river of green is sliding unseen

Beneath the trees

Laughing as it passes through the endless summer

Making for the sea

[Verse 2]

In the lazy water meadow I lay me down

All around me golden sun flakes settle on the ground

Basking in the sunshine of a bygone afternoon

Bringing sounds of yesterday into this city room

[Chorus]

Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dog fox

Gone to ground

See the splashing of the kingfisher

Flashing to the water

And a river of green is sliding unseen

Beneath the trees

Laughing as it passes through the endless summer

Making for the sea

[Acoustic Guitar Solo]

*birds tweeting and geese honking*

[Verse 2]

In the lazy water meadow I lay me down

All around me golden sun flakes covering the ground

Basking in the sunshine of a bygone afternoon

Bringing sounds of yesterday into my city room

[Chorus]

Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dog fox

Gone to ground

See the splashing of the kingfisher

Flashing to the water

And a river of green is sliding unseen

Beneath the trees

Laughing as it passes through the endless summer

Making for the sea

[Outro]

*birds tweeting*

*bee buzzing, loud footsteps, swatting sound*
