"Swallow Song"

And there's a sunset brimming over the sky,

And there's a swallow teaching its young how to fly,

Up on high,

See how fast the summer passes by,

And there's an oak leaf turning green into brown,

And there's a pine so proud of her evergreen gown,

Looking down,

See how fast the winter comes around,

And there's a rain cloud passing over our heads,

And there's a cat on the doorstep waiting to be fed,

Milk and bread,

Day is done and now it's time for bed.
