The Fiery Flamingo (v1) The fiery flamingo Has radiant wings To bear you up high Where the rare Simurgh sings (v2) Now stroke its soft feathers And whisper your name So it will remember The place whence you came Refrain Don't weep, little one Only sleep, little one Feel the beat of its heart As you fly far away Out of sight of the day To the place where Infinity starts (v3) The fiery flamingo Is of all birds the king For sunset and dawn Are both born in its wings (v4) And it feeds in cool water On wee golden fish As it waits for my darling To make a dream wish Refrain Don't weep, little one Only sleep, little one Feel the beat of its heart As you fly far away Out of sight of the day To the place where Infinity starts ©2010 Donna Devine
