Away But Never Gone

Intro: Verse 1 The moon's on its way to its nightly shift, ) the frogs fill the creek below. The tall grass waves a farewell to the day, ) the wind moans sweet and low. ) A heron tucks his head in his wing, the fish in the lake float along. The sun sinks from sight: away, but never gone. Verse 2 The dawn brings the dew like a thousand jewels, ) a nest rustles high on a bough. The blue egg stays warm in the cool of the morn, ) under a red breast of down. The clouds turn and stretch, the moon checks its wrist and gathers itself with a yawn, And winks to the sun: away, but never gone. Verse 3 Coda
