Old Ocean
Cosmo Sheldrake
4:22Does the swallow dream of flying As it sleeps on the wing Does it long for the summer As it flies home for spring Does Daisy feel a sadness At the last rays of sun Does the wind feel a gladness At the work that it's done I won't go making mountains Out of molehills Any more I won't go chasing windmills Round in circles Any more I won't go preaching sermons To the choir what's it for? I won't go through the motions anymore Does the river ever wonder What will come round the bend? As it twists and meanders Down its slow descent I looked out over London With my last cup of tea My gaze was returned by Grey cloud and steel
