about

The fourth -- and final -- variation on a thrush theme. Lisa West (Faerytale) recorded her background non-verbal vocalization to my lyrics version to start with, so this (in my opinion) is ultimately the best version of the two of us. ☼

lyrics

On a bough above her,
Calling out I love her!

Catching the ear of my May meadow queen,
Clear as a bell I am heard yet unseen
Cloaked in the green of this forest ravine.

Will she come and follow
My song from the hollow?

I can see her, but she cannot see me
Camouflaged up in the tree canopy
Winging her way on my sweet melody.

{Interlude: I sing to thee, wing to me! / Come to me, run to me! / Fly to me, hie to me!}

Here I am, please reach me
On this branch of beech tree!

Silken as thistledown my song is sent.
As true as a whistle now my testament's
A sonic epistle vowing my intent!

As she neared she spied me.
Soon appeared beside me.

Dear lady thrush see the nest that I built for us!
Cozy and lush, it's the best in the forest!
But there's no rush, hear the rest of my chorus:

True words love together!
Two birds of a feather!
