The Dawn Chorus Lyrics – John Spillane
Singer: John Spillane
Title: The Dawn Chorus
When the morning breaks and the light comes flooding
Down on all our lives and the air is singing
Who sings the stars down from the darkness
Who cracks open the dawn?
Us! Us! cry the blackbird and the thrush
Us! Us! cry the redbreast robins
Us! Us! cry a band of wrens
Singing in the fresh green branches
All join in the dawn chorus
No words can describe the music of the tribes of the air
Who sings away the hag of winter
Who sings the sun up into the morning
Who cracks open the dawn?
Us! Us! cry the blackbird and the thrush
Us! Us! cry the redbreast robins
Us! Us! cry a band of wrens
Singing in the fresh green branches
All join in the dawn chorus
All the best musicians were singers
All the best musicians were birds
Who sings the sun up into the morning
Sings away the hag of winter
Hearts held high who cracks open the dawn?
Us! Us! cry the blackbird and the thrush
Us! Us! cry the redbreast robins
Us! Us! cry a band of wrens
Singing in the fresh green branches
All join in the dawn chorus
All join in the dawn chorus
All join in the dawn chorus
Bathed in glory, the linnet sings with all its heart and holds nothing back
The turtle dove sings for free
The blackbird sings best from her nest in the blackthorn tree
Without them there is no music
The skylark and the meadowlark, the chaffinch, the chiffchaff
The greenfinch and the goldfinch, they sing for all they are worth
And the wren, the king of all birds!
Enchanted cascades of brilliant liquid melody pour from
The bullfinch, crossbill, the goldcrest, the firecrest
The hawfinch, the linnet and the rose finch
The wood warbler and the willow warbler
The blackcap, the dunnock, the garden warbler, the redstart, the redwing, the bluethroat, the fieldfare!
And a nightingale pouring her liquid notes out over the river in the morning
Stonechat, whin-chat, house sparrow, tree sparrow, hedge sparrow
Woodlark, skylark, meadowlark, the mountain lark that sings away the dark
For sheer joy they sing the dawn
Without them there is no music!
