Story behind the song
i wrote the poem a long time ago and set it to music much later, and still later recorded this mp3.
Lyrics
sings a bird upon a tree and underneath a shepherd stands so foolishly says all my friends have gone away from me turns to the bird and says i hear you hears the sheep just out of sight the webs are strung with the morning dew like beads of light the shepherd sees the early morning awake from the night turns to the bird and says i see you still the day demands its pay the shepherd grieves so openly it's the price of a day and when it's done he throws his only cloak away turns to the bird and says i love you the bird is listening in the breeze, in the swirling mists of the dawn the shepherd hears with ease, the voice of the mist and the air and the silent thoughts of trees turns to the bird and says i am you.
