THE CHAFFINCH SONG
Theme and Lyrics by Eli McBett
Music arrangement By Kevin D Malone
WHITE SKY WIDE, AS WE TALK
WIND BLOWS WILD, AS WE WALK
SLOWLY
TOWARDS THE MEMORIES
THE GREY SNOW FALLS UPON THE BOUGHS
AND PLAYS A DRY SOUND, YOU CAN NOTICE
ALONE THE CHAFFINCH ON A DEAD TREE
SINGS ALL AROUND, WE DID HEAR IT
WHY TO GO, WHY TO STAY, WHY TO GO,
NO ANSWERS FOR THE REASON
WHY TO GO, WHY TO STAY, WHY TO GO,
NO ANSWERS FOR THE HEART
TIME IS BACKWARDS, PICTURE SILENT
WE ARE STILL THE SAME, LIKE WHITE SHADOWS
WINTER'S LEAVING, PAIN IS GRIEVING
IN THE WASTE LAND
SNOWDROPS ARE SPRINGING
WIND BLOWS WILD, AS WE WALK
LANDS BARE DRY, WHERE DO WE GO?
TIME IS BACKWARDS, PICTURE SILENT,
WE ARE STILL THE SAME, NEVER MEANING
WINTER'S LEAVING, PAIN IS GRIEVING
IN THE WASTE LAND
SNOWDROPS ARE SPRINGING
