Wailin' Jennys (The)
Away But Never Gone
The moon's on its wayTo it's nightly shiftThe frogs fill the crick aloneThe tall grass wavesA farewell to the dayThe wind blows sweet and lowThe heron tucksHis head in his wingThe fish in the lack float aloneThe sun sinks from sightAway, but never goneThe dawn brings the dewLike a thousand jewelsThe nest rustles high on a boughThe blue egg stays warmIn the cool of the mornUnder a red breast of downThe clouds turn and stretchThe moon sheds its restAnd gathers itself with a yawnSongtexteIt waits for the sunAway, but never goneAnd all 'round the worldAs it turns and it turnsThe stars twinkle low in the dawnWe come and goAway, but never gone
