Lyrics:
Mother night, starling flight
On homeward path do bend
Colored light, for the sight
Of window watching friends
I can tell you've been here in the morning
Insweeping on the grass
But I know it won't last too long
Violin echo in
And deeper darkened still
Cow bells, chow bells
Over the hill swells
Infant winter's chill
Seen the sun going down in the meadow
In streaking all the grass
And I know it won't last too long
And you carry me though
These empty hours again
And you, and you
Making it truly easy to pretend
Seen my feelings melt down all around you
Incasing you in glass
But I know it won't last
And I know it won't last
And I know it won't last too long
