"Swallow Song"
And there's a sunset brimming over the sky,
And there's a swallow teaching its young how to fly,
Up on high,
See how fast the summer passes by,
And there's an oak leaf turning green into brown,
And there's a pine so proud of her evergreen gown,
Looking down,
See how fast the winter comes around,
And there's a rain cloud passing over our heads,
And there's a cat on the doorstep waiting to be fed,
Milk and bread,
Day is done and now it's time for bed.
