about

Apologies, I had posted this earlier this year then had been reminded of its existence after it was placed on the playlist on Radio Six International at www.radiosix.com. At least this time the lyric has been added!

lyrics

An old scraggy bird
Still able to fly
Appeared today
In the near-by sky

The direction it flew in
Was north over trees
Over gardens of glass
Over damp grass and leaves

Perhaps to the hill
Where Mary once wept
Perhaps even further
Where Mary was kept

A slave to a kitchen
A slave to a man
A slave to herself
A slave to a plan

That would free her forever
Or that’s what she thought
But the thought had no wings
And the thought came to nought

Until stood by her window
Observing the sky
Mary noticed the old
Scraggy bird flying by

And before understanding
The how or the why
She’d majicked some wings
And soared into the sky

Breif interlude

Two old scraggy birds
Still able to fly
Appeared today
In the near-by sky

The direction they few in
Was south to the sun
To a nest by the sea
And some last days of fun

(C) Sheila K Cameron and Glalell
