The Dawn Chorus on Tape Songtext
von Richard Walters

He wakes before the sun comes up
Leaves the sleeping house to collect more sound
He stands in reverence under towering trees
Tall as houses

Did you ever imagine
A world without seeing it
As the night came in
He was listening
To a universe magnetized
He heard everything


It came with a fading light
Bringing familiar rooms into shadow now
He tapes every morning all the risen sounds
With this wow and flutter

Did you ever imagine
A world without seeing it
As the night came in
He was listening
To a universe magnetized
He heard everything

As the dark came down
He was listening
To a thousand dawns caught before
He heard everything
